Our Mission
Christmas is Here! If only we could always see this season from the eyes of a child. The celebration of the birth of Jesus, helps us to remember the promise that God made to us, to bring a savior into our human world. Through the Advent Season as we prepare for Jesus’s birth we hold onto the traditions that each of us may have. As the world continues to change in various ways, we always can be assurred that God’s love for us will never change. It’s not a joyous time for everyone and we pray that we stay mindful of those that don’t see or feel God’s presence and that we, as His light, can bring Hope to those that could really use it, especially this time of year. Peace be with you and may God Bless each of you during this Holiday Season!
“ChurchPartner’s mission is to serve God by helping Christian and community service organizations effectively utilize the time, talents and treasures of their supporting members and staff.”

Hope, Peace, Love & Joy Advent is typically celebrated with four candles representing the four weeks of Advent leading up to Christmas Day with one candle lit each Sunday. The 1st, 2nd & 4th candles are commonly purple because the color violet is a liturgical color that signifies a time of prayer, penance, and sacrifice (you will also see these in blue) These symbolize Hope, Love & Peace. The 3rd Advent candle color on the wreath is pink or rose and represents joy or rejoicing and reveals a shift in the season of Advent away from repentance and toward celebration. The white candle is placed in the middle of the wreath and lit on Christmas Eve. This candle is called the “Christ Candle” and represents the life of Christ. The color white is for purity—because Christ is our sinless, pure Savior. No matter the color candles used the remembrance of the birth and life of Christ is what we celebrate and we thank God for his Son. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 (NIV)

Freight Freight Freight Even though ocean freight rates continue to decrease the supply chain remains very tight. Production of goods remains lower than pre-covid times, mostly due to labor and raw material shortages. Domestic US freight rates continue to stay at levels as high as they have ever been. Availability of trucks is still tight and lead times are still longer as a result. Please plan your order timing accordingly especially with the holiday season upon us.
