This intergenerational party celebrated the beginning of the Advent season. We had a great time making decorations and putting them on the Christmas tree in the fellowship room. These decorations will be for sale and the proceeds will be donated to our sponsor child.
The Congregational Church of Austin participates in the United Church of Christ Global Ministry's Child Sponsorship Program. This is a joint project of our Boards for Outreach and Christian Education. We sponsor a girl named Hala Mahmoud, who participates in the Rawdat El Zuhar school in East Jerusalem. Our church is using the child sponsorship ministry as an opportunity to support the United Church of Christ's ministry in East Jerusalem, and to learn more about the religious, political, economic, and social issues in East Jerusalem.
