Things we wish to invite contributors to consider:

The suggested items are flexible and interchangeable, we are inviting contributions from the heart (education, experience, scholarship is not necessary) don't be afraid, come as you are!

Think of the audience:

• We hope to offer this to people who are alone during this season as a source of comfort and inspiration to draw nearer to God.
• We hope to offer this as a gift to our Holy Hermits Online members and family as an extension to devotional practice.
• We hope folk will gift this subscription to others for Christmas (for people who are at a distance, those they don’t know what else to gift, for those they wish to share faith/invitation to HHO with in a special way),
• This also has the potential to be a beautiful gift to the wider church community (church partners).
