The GWP steering committee met in person this weekend in University Park, Maryland. We thank the University Park Church of the Brethren for hosting us as we planned for the year ahead! Keep an eye out for our December Global E-Links for a special announcement.
Luckily, you won’t be held in suspense for long—December, and Advent, will be here before we know it. As the Advent season approaches, GWP invites you to download and print the 2024 Advent Calendar. We hope that you will take a few moments each day throughout Advent to reflect upon and interact with this educational calendar focused on the work of our Partner Project, Growing Grounds, and issues related to the incarceration of women in the U.S.
This year, the image on our calendar is of the shepherds (designed by Jessie Neher). You can use the calendar in personal prayer time, with your family around the dinner table, in a Sunday school class or small group, or as a congregation. Send us your colored-in calendar as Advent progresses or once you’ve finished! We would love to post them to our social media.
