Reverse Advent Calendars | The Dover Church
News & Publications

Traditional Advent Calendars have little "doors" that you open each day during Advent. It is exciting to see what you will receive - an inspirational reading, candy and even sometimes a small toy. As a way to help others during this pandemic, we invite you to participate in our Reverse Advent Calendar food collection. As a way to give back.
Starting on Thanksgiving/Agape Sunday, November 22nd, we will hand out boxes and a list of food items needed. You can stop by the church office to pick up a box or we can email the list of needed food items to you. For each day during Advent place one food item into the box. (Advent is from Sunday, November 29 to Christmas Eve.)
We will collect the boxes on Epiphany Sunday, January 3rd. (Epiphany is when the three kings arrived with their gifts!)
Please click the link below for our Reverse Advent Calendar box information sheet.
Please email Beth Benjamin, beth@thedoverchurch.org and let us know if you need help getting your filled box to the church.
This is open to everyone, regardless of your religious affiliation. The Dover Church is an open and affirming congregation in the United Church of Christ. We are located at 17 Springdale Avenue, Dover, MA.
