Family Reverse Advent Project

Join us in celebrating Advent in a special way this year with a Reverse Advent Project!  When you hear “Advent calendar”, the first thing that comes to mind is probably a colorful store-bought box with windows that are opened daily to reveal a small treat.  A reverse Advent calendar is completely the opposite – instead of getting something each day of Advent, you give!

                  The Glen Ellyn Food Pantry provides vital nutrition assistance to over 180 families in our area every single week so the need for donations is always great and is ongoing.  In this season of giving, we’d like to support them in their Christian mission to feed the hungry.

How does the Reverse Advent Project work?  Set aside a large box for each child in your family.  Beginning on Dec. 2, place one non-perishable food item in the box for donation to the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry.  Continue this practice daily throughout Advent.  A list of suggested donation items and drop-off hours can be found at glenellynfoodpantry.org.  During the week of Christmas, as a family deliver your boxes directly to the Food Pantry.  It is located at 493 Forest Avenue in Grace Lutheran Church. 

Have a blessed and

Holy Advent journey!

Grace of Motherhood  charitable collection

• Pop Tabs: St. Petronille and Grace of Motherhood are collecting pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House Charities.  Funds collected are used to provide programs, meals, and rooms for families whose children are facing long hospital stays.  Although one tab is small, when we come together as a community we can have a big impact on those who are faced with medical challenges. The power of ONE tab, the power of ONE person, the power of ONE community is incredible; let’s make a difference in someone’s life!

 Is the Blessed Mother is calling you to share in faith and friendship, come find out!
