		<description>Josh,

A good post idea would be &quot;How is your ministry coping with the given economic times?&quot;

I&#039;m in a small church, and was at a board meeting hearing about things that need to be done need to be paid for but money&#039;s not coming in, so my team and I are looking at ways at doing different events, cutting out events, not needing new tech stuff, etc. My pastor even mentioned the other day that if I were not here, the church would probably not have my position nor want to add it. So, I&#039;m just curious as to how others are coping with tough economic times without compromising on our ministry.</description>

		<description>Hey all,

My name is Tony Biaggne, and I serve as the Creative Director for Advent Conspiracy. Thanks a ton for &quot;giving presence&quot; to our little conspiracy. It&#039;s cool to stumble upon blogs like this and see AC doing its thing. As Sara suggested, there is a TON more to explore on the website. I&#039;d highly recommend you all register onto the site, as you&#039;ll be able to share stories and images as to how you did advent differently this year. There&#039;s been a ton of people from around the world who are already sharing stories. And don&#039;t forget to check out the &quot;resources&quot; page, where you&#039;ll be able to download any and all things related to AC. Oh, and feel free to email me with questions.

Thanks again!
