Advent by Candlelight – A Generous Spirit

$1400 was donated through Advent by Candlelight to a battered women’s shelter in Newark.  The women donated over $900, with $500 matching fund from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.  May God multiply these gifts so that all may know love and shelter in this season.
