Advent Conspiracy
Spend less, give more
Nov. 24, 2012 – Dec. 25, 2012
The story of Christ’s birth is a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love. So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, traffic jams, and shopping lists. What if Christmas became a world-changing event again?
