Advent Conspiracy

This year, the Third Baptist Advent theme has a very specific missional focus: Advent Conspiracy, an attempt to do away with the frenzied activity and extravagant gift-giving of a commercial Christmas and work toward supplying the entire world with clean water. Third Baptist is challenged to raise $14,000 as their global missions offering to help build fresh water wells in Haiti, a ministry of both CBF and ABC. See page 10 of our November Third Base newsletter for more information.
