Socks & Undies Tree
Look for the “Socks & Undies” tree in the Gathering Place throughout the season of Advent. The Children & Youth Ministry is sponsoring this project. We are collecting socks and underwear for Christmas for adults and children. These necessities are often overlooked when we make donations to help friends in need. Bring your donations on Sunday or drop off in the church office anytime during Advent, they will be donated to the Child Advocates San Antonio (CASA.) The mission of CASA is to recruit, develop and lead highly impactful court-appointed volunteer Advocates who provide constancy and support for children and youth who have experienced abuse and neglect.

2022 advent mission project: project transformation
At our Advent Planning Retreat, the staff chose Project Transformation (PT) as our Advent mission project because it went along with our Advent theme: A Child will Lead. We are excited to be partnering with PT since so many members of our congregation support PT by being reading buddies, sorting books and supporting financially.
You can be part of this year’s mission project by:
Donating books from the curated list to Project Transformation. Complete the order form and turn in your money to the church office or order online.
- Donating books from the curated list to Project Transformation. Complete the order form and turn in your money to the church office or order online.
- Support PT financially. Books alone cannot sustain the full ministry of Project Transformation. For each book donated, please make a $5 monetary contribution to support the larger work of Project Transformation’s ministry. This can be done with the online order form, or with the paper order form when turned in to the church.
Prayer – As you journey through the weekly devotional, you are invited to pray over the work of Project Transformation. For the children who will read the books you donated, for the college students who will support those children while building their own leadership skills, for the churches who host and support the program, and for the staff and volunteers working year-round to answer God’s call of transformational ministry.
