Keep up the Good Work

on Those Reverse Advent Calendars

Last Saturday, we collected 552 pounds of food for the Christ Ascension Food Pantry, giving us a total of 3,457 pounds of food donated during 2023, just 543 pounds shy of our goal. Surely, once we have all submitted our Reverse Advent Calendars we will meet or, more likely, exceed our goal.

Put a non-perishable food item in your Reverse Advent box (any medium sized cardboard box will do) each day through Christmas Day. We will collect the filled boxes at Christmas for donation to the Christ Ascension Food Pantry.

A Prayer for Adding to Your Reverse Advent Box

Loving God, accept this gift from all that you have given us. Nourish your children and protect them, and make us ever mindful of the needs of our brothers and sisters and siblings. Amen.
