Saturday, November 2, 11am-2pm

As the chairperson for the event this year, I challenge you to welcome people home by inviting them to this event. You can reach out to someone who used to sit in the Advent pews . . . or welcome a friend or neighbor who could consider Advent their home.  Many . . . let me say that louder, MANY are still feeling isolated from the Covid pandemic.  Why not let them know we have a home for them, a place they can receive love, rest and the word of God. The following folks are heading up committees so please sign up to help in some way to make the Homecoming a success. 

Thank you. Joanne Jobe

It's truly heartwarming to announce the commencement of a brand new/old prayer group! This group liked the 7@7 prayers we had at Lent and decided to resume this gathering monthly. on the first Friday of every month at 9 am, we gather virtually on Zoom for approximately half an hour to uplift our church, community, synod, and the broader church in prayer. Your presence and prayers are invaluable. If you feel called to join us, simply click on the link provided below. Let's come together and make a difference through the power of prayer!

Passionate Volunteer to Head Prayer Team Minister

Theresa Molgren has been the heart and soul of this ministry for 10 years! She is handing over the reins and we are in need of a new leader for this ministry. It is fairly easy and requires minimal time. You would receive prayer requests and send them to the appropriate group(s) and share with the office each week. Please call the church office if you would like to help with this important ministry. And thanks again to Theresa for all her years of service.

Our Blessing Box is a blessing to those around us that are in need and it’s frequently empty. Please think about adding a few items when you do your weekly shop.

Now that school has started please consider children's snacks, chip packets, canned meat and kid friendly food.

We also don't want to forget our homeless who always are in need of basic toiletries.

If you choose to bring food, consider adding it to the shelves in the kitchen to be rationed out to the box daily. You may also put items in the box from the kitchen (just not everything) if you so choose.

Also remember that NO household items, clothing, expired or fresh (perishable) food should be left in the box.

Thank you for your generosity and for being a part of this wonderful initiative.

Please text or email Cheryl Herberg (615) 300-6283, if you have any questions.
