Dear Friends and Advent giving to mission Supporters,

Welcome to the 2025 AGM!

For more than 30 years, the Advent Gift Market has been a beloved BMPC tradition. This year, it receives a fresh name and renewed focus: Advent Giving to Mission (AGM). The new name more clearly reflects BMPC’s mission priorities and highlights how deeply mission is woven into the life of our church.

Throughout the whole year, your generosity to BMPC supports 55 Mission Partners via grants, in-kind donations, and volunteer engagement. Advent Giving to Mission invites us to continue that generosity as a congregation grounded in service by giving donors the opportunity to choose how their contributions will directly benefit the agencies supported by our church throughout the year.

Donors can honor family, friends, and associates with special cards that notify recipients of the donations made in their honor, along with descriptions of the projects supported. These insert cards can be included in holiday greetings, or you can purchase vintage AGM greeting cards.

Beginning November 16, tax-deductible donations can be made online at www.BrynMawrAGM.com.

We also invite you to the Opening Celebration on Sunday, November 23, in Congregational Hall following the 10:00 a.m. worship service. Representatives from our church councils and participating organizations will be available to share about their impactful work. Donations can be made in person at the Opening Celebration and on any Sunday in Advent in the BMPC Atrium following the 10:00 a.m. worship service. You may also use the order form at the back of the catalog and mail your check directly to the church.

Whether you are a long-time supporter of AGM or joining us for the first time, your generosity helps transform lives—both near and far. Together, let us celebrate the gift of God’s Son by sharing gifts of hope, compassion, and new life with those in need.

Wishing you peace and joy this Advent season.
