TOMS TOMS TOMS

Hey everyone! We have been talking a lot about the coming of the advent season at SPCC and last night Ben gave us some practical tips to fully worship God this Christmas and not get stuck in the busyness and traffic jams and shopping lists and endless spending. One of his main ideas was to spend less on gifts that will end up back at the stores or hanging in a closet for years or sold at a tag sale next spring. Then, with the money that you save by not buying those useless gifts.. we are to give more. There are a ton of people who do not receive their basic needs everyday, nevermind items from their wishlist.

I am here to offer a practical tip that allows you to spend and give at the same time. A gift that will provide a family member or loved one with a trendy pair of shoes. The best part is that you are always providing an individual from Ethiopia with a necessity that they will not receive otherwise.

Please watch the video and consider this as an alternative for your holiday shopping. TOMS has set a goal of 30,000 pairs of shoes this holiday season. Whether or not that goal is met, we can make sure we are watching for Jesus by giving more this season.
