Advent Dreams – FREE Advent Bible Study
Hopewell UMC is willing to provide their study
Advent Dreams
to churches wanting an excellent, free, 4-session long Bible study for the Advent Season. The study includes a leader guide, worksheets, and DVD presentations.
Advent Dreams is based on the sequence of four nighttime dreams in Matthew 1:18-2:23. The study reviews how God used dreams as a vehicle for guidance, warning, and challenge among the heroes in Matthew’s Christmas Story. It invites participants to consider whether God speaks to them and to the Church in dreams
today.
The primary printed resource for this material is the International Critical Commentary on Matthew 1-7 by W. D. Davies (renown New Testament scholar who began his teaching career at Duke in the 1950’s and then later returned there until his retirement) and D. C. Allison (a PhD student at Duke under Davies, who now teaches New Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary). The four video presentations in
Advent Dreams
are written and delivered by Pastor Steve Morton and Pastor Amy Banka.
Any congregation which is interested in this study for the Advent season can contact Pastor Steve –
steve@hopewellumc.org
, or
boyd@hopewellumc.org
, or call the church office
(610) 269-1545

"Social entrepreneurship is a form of entrepreneurship that integrates social goals and social problem solving into the core business model. The business model of social entrepreneurial ventures (or social ventures) simultaneously creates economic and social value. Social entrepreneurship is different than traditional entrepreneurship. It is different than the traditional non-profit approach to addressing social problems in our communities. Social entrepreneurship (SE) uses market-oriented approaches to address social problems and environmental challenges." Jeffrey A. Robinson, Ph.D.

RADICAL DISCIPLE MAKING CONFERENCE

Presented by The Effective Church Group

EVERYBODY CAN DO SOMETHING…
Here’s Something You Can Do:
Can you imagine how it would feel to be separated from your friends and loved ones at Christmas? Those who are incarcerated can find it difficult to maintain connections with important people in their lives, and at holidays, their absence can be felt most deeply.
You can help share God’s love with those who are incarcerated by writing a brief caring/encouraging note inside a Christmas card. These will be collected and delivered to inmates at a number of correctional facilities in Eastern PA. Your participation in this project can help send a powerful message of God’s love to those who are incarcerated and remind them of their identity as God’s sons and daughters at a time at which they may be feeling very much alone. We hope that many will be reached through this project this year.
Please follow the specific directions in the attachment below so that you and others in your congregation can reach out in this coming holiday season. Also provided are some sample images you may use, and some thoughts/phrases to help those who may be at a loss for words to get started. Cards need to be completed and returned to your district offices by
Monday,
November 7
.
Thank you so much for your willingness to share God’s love with others!
