Spend Less, Give More Advent Challenge – January 5 update!
As a part of Advent Reimagined, we were all invited to spend less and give more this Advent and Christmas. The Missions Committee invited everyone to consider a gift to Rumple’s Hurricane Helene Recovery Fund as a part of our “giving more” this year. Instead of buying family and friends gifts they may not need, we were invited to consider helping our neighbors whose homes and lives are being rebuilt. Our challenge goal was $10,000 for the Advent season.
We are so excited to announce that, as of January 5, 2025, you have helped us to surpass our goal by giving a total of $47,900 during our Advent challenge! We would also like to announce that the congregation of the Cape Carteret Presbyterian Church has donated $11,200 to Rumple’s hurricane fund. Since we began raising money for Hurricane Recovery, we have received over $240,000 and have distributed over $144,000 to neighbors and local agencies in need.
Lindsey Eaton, Director of Children, Youth, and Family Ministries introduced our theme of Advent Reimagined in the November 2024 video below.
