A Season and Time of Giving
The peace and love of our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ be with you all.
We pray that in this time of hope and giving of the Advent season we can open our hearts to those children who are suffering with illness and injuries. We ask that with a happy and humble heart you consider contributing a Christmas gift to a hospitalized child. We would like to remind you that CHOP does not be accept any drop off gifts. In Lieu of this we are encouraged to send monetary donations towards purchasing gifts or purchase a gift via the attached link.
The Weisman Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital in Marlton, NJ also encourages the financial donations to be through their link which you will also find attached year-round. Although, Weisman will still be accepting physical drop off donations.
These gifts should be NEW!!!!
This year we will also be donating to the Ronald McDonald House of Camden. They provide housing for traveling and local families who have a loved one in the Camden Hospitals free of charge. We will be donating small amenities to help the families in this difficult time. You will find the Wish List attached.(It is NOT a link)
Attached you will find the links of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and The Weisman Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital Wish Lists. Please note the most neglected age groups are the infants and adolescents. There will be ONE box labeled with Weisman Children’s Hospital by the inside entrance of the church.
The last day for physical donation drop offs will be Sunday, Dec 21st. These small acts of kindness are so desperately needed in this world and serve as a great reminder of God’s infinite love and generosity. This serves as a wonderful opportunity to share
Jesus’s love with our community.
“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Cor 9:7)

LITURGY IN COLLINGSWOOD WILL BE SATURDAY 11/15/25
The peace and love of our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ be with you all.
We are very excited to share this news with you. Thank God and by His Grace, our church community continues to grow and the area which once had a handful of families, now serves about 300 families. In efforts to better serve them, we are starting a new community in Collingswood that can bring the church closer to her children.
We have rented a community center in Collingswood in order to begin this service.
First liturgy will be on Saturday 11/15/25 from 8-11 am.
This is not to say that a future church must be in that specific area but God will determine for us what the location will be and what the next steps are.
Note: This does not impact or change the current service/schedule at our beloved church of St Anthony but rather is intended to be an extension of our family at St Antony.
Please pray for this service.
Below is the address and attached is the parking pass. Please see the attached picture for the location of the parking lot.

NOTE: PARKING IS ONLY ALLOWED IN THE PARKING DECK. IF YOU PARK ON THE STREET, YOU WILL RISK TICKETING AND POSSIBLY TOWING. THEREFORE, PLEASE PARK ONLY IN THE PARKING LOT ACROSS THE STREET.
Be safe in the Lord.
