Welcoming the outsider, sojourner, and exile is one of the key components of biblical ethics, and we have an opportunity to let that rubric hit the road on Sunday afternoon, 12/8, at Fervent Church (904 Cooper Rd, Voorhees Township, NJ 08043).  Come and serve at their Refugee "Grocery Store" for families and individuals primarily from Afghanistan, Burma, and Syria.  To serve day-of, you can arrive at Fervent for as much time and as many "shifts" as you'd want to spend: setup runs from 1pm to 2pm, the "grocery store" itself stretches from 2pm to 4pm, and cleanup occurs afterwards.    You can also drop off food donations on 12/7––click here for a list––to Fervent between 3:30pm and 4:30 pm or do the same at Fervent on 12/8 between 1pm and 1:30pm. (Text Lauren at 856-816-4517 by Wednesday, 12/4, if you'd plan on volunteering and would want pizza, and also if you're intending to drop off any items at Fervent Church or the Shelmire home so that people can plan accordingly.)

As Advent approaches, we're excited once again to participate in a toy drive for one of our local ministry partners, Foster the Family!  We're aiming to buy $20-$25 gifts that Foster the Family will distribute to children in foster and adoptive homes during their Christmas party. All gifts should be purchased by December 15th through their Amazon wishlist and shipped directly to Foster to Family. Let's help bring some joy to these kids! The link to the Amazon wishlist is here!

Love sitting outside by a fire? You're not the only one! Come connect with some guys and share your love of that sweet sound of crackling on a cold winter night. We will be meeting monthly throughout the winter. Mike Sullivan will be hosting our first fire pit huddle on December 21st. No food will be provided but feel free to BYOB (and, if you're able, bring some to share!). Click here for more information AND to register! Reach out to Angel at   with any questions.

Christmas Eve awaits!  Come on out to our Christmas Eve service at Holy Trinity on Tuesday, 12/24, at 7:00pm. This time of worship will be family friendly and shorter than a normal, Sunday morning service; as such, we won't be offering Liberti Kids but will encourage families to keep their kiddos in the sanctuary for the duration of worship. On Christmas Eve, we’ll be taking a special offering related to our 'For Others' Christmas Campaign. Come prepared to give generously!
