SUMMARY:Advent of Generosity: Inviting giving and participation during Advent and Christmas
DESCRIPTION:December tends to be a very busy month in the life of the church. It is also a busy month for individuals—there is extra baking\, shopping for family and friends\, Christmas parties\, and more. Most charities save their biggest appeals for this “giving season”. Does your community of faith talk about generosity during Advent? Many people want an invitation to give. This can be a time to invite generosity or deeper participation. And it’s an opportunity to tell visitors about your ministry\, and invite their support. \nThis 60-minute session will talk about different ways that church leaders can bring conversations of stewardship into Advent\, Christmas Eve\, and beyond. Let’s help make this Advent the beginning of a church year full of deeper generosity. \nNovember 14\, 10 a.m.\, via Zoom

SUMMARY:Centre for Christian Studies: CCS Fridays
DESCRIPTION:CCS Friday: Why First Advent Requires a Second Advent:\nNovember 18th at 12 pm (Central Time).  \n“Then two will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding meal together; one will be taken and one will be left.”  – Matthew 24:40-41 \nJoin us for an online discussion of Matthew 24 (lectionary reading for the first Sunday of Advent). How do we interpret this? Is this “rapture” or is it a renewal of creation? Our special guest will be Dan Epp-Tiessen\, biblical scholar and semi-retired professor at the Canadian Mennonite University. \nCCS Fridays are online conversations to help us all to respond faithfully to emerging issues in local contexts. These workshops are hosted by the Centre for Christian Studies and open to anyone who might be interested. Each session will be in the form of a Zoom workshop with a presentation that will be recorded for future viewing\, plus opportunities to engage with the ideas in small groups. \nThe event is free but you must register by clicking here.
