Dear friends,

This week I give you a picture of the advent calendars I am offering for sale this year. They are a great opportunity to talk to relatives about the Christmas message.

The blue Divine calendar has Fair Trade chocolate in each window so apart from the conversation about Christ come to earth you can talk about unfairness in the world and how our small actions can help give growers a fairer price for their labour. It means parents can afford to send their children to school rather than employ them from a very early age.
The triangular tea calendars are more for older children and adults. They have a different organic tea in each window and remind us that we must honour Gods creation and stop polluting land, sky and sea.
Last but not least: everything I sell is competitively priced and all proceeds go to the church funds. I have a few left!

This week I also want to draw your attention to the USA presidential elections. I don’t think it needs an explanation why I ask you to pray for the situation in that country.

God bless,

Dineke van den Bogerd
