Church of the Holy Comforter

Service and Mission

As followers of Jesus, we are called to show our love by serving others. We engage in a number of service and mission programs at Holy Comforter that are designed to share the love of Christ with our community and our world.

Advent Conspiracy

In 2009 Advent Conspiracy made its debut at Holy Comforter. We sought to reclaim the seasons of Advent and Christmas from the culture of consumerism and materialism that has hijacked them. We bought fewer gifts, gave more relational gifts, and now we're in the process of using what we saved to build wells in parts of the world where people lack access to clean water.

Christmas Bazaar

The annual Christmas Bazaar is one of Holy Comforter's most popular events of the year. Church members donate clothing, books, knick knacks, baked goods, and a number of services. Local companies and organizations also make donations. There's good food, fellowship, and all of the proceeds go to benefit mission and outreach in the greater Philadelphia area.
