WELCOME ​to Advent Lutheran!
Advent Lutheran Church is blessed and honored to have been shaped by the diversity of its community. All of your facets are embraced here as a beloved reflection of God's creation, including sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, race, age, nationality, ethnicity, marital status, physical or mental ability, and socio-economic status. As a Reconciling in Christ community, committed to racial and gender equity, we work to acknowledge and repair relationships hurt by the past unjust actions and attitudes of organized religion. Wherever you are in your journey, you are welcome at Advent Lutheran Church. Join us in our mission: “So all may know Christ’s love!”

What's New:
Advent is Now a Reconciling in Christ Congregation
Our congregation applied to become a Reconciling in Christ Congregation in late June, following the work completed by Christina, Renee, Mary Ann, and Maren. Last week, we heard that our application was approved, and we have been accepted! We will be collecting a special offering for RIC on September 14, so if you’d like to participate in that you may place your donation in a pew envelope and note it for RIC or note RIC on your check and place it in the offering plate on September 14th.
Adopt-a-Child for Christmas Gifts
Advent will be collecting Christmas gifts for children of Gregory Hills Learning Center families. Each child will need to receive a want and need that has been requested. You can sign up n the Narthex from November 23rd to December 7th. Please do not take a child’s tag without filling out the sign- up sheet.
All gifts must be brought to Advent by Sunday, December 14th. The gifts should be unwrapped, but have a tag attached with the child’s name on it. Thank you!!
Radio Play and Bake Sale
The Advent Radio Players and the Triple E Team wish to extend a huge thank you to everyone or the tremendous success of the radio play and bake sale! There were so many yummy items !!
You can still go online and watch the performance. Radio Play admissions were over $300.00, and the bake sale raised over $565.00 for a total of $865.00 to be donated to Growing Home’s Food Bank.
There was great attendance at the play with over 60 attending n person and approximately 200 online! The plays were so much fun to do, and everyone seemed to greatly enjoy them! Look forward to another play this spring! If you have any thoughts about what you would to see let Denny know at DennyT49@aol.com. Any specific program? What genre? More drama and mystery or back to comedy?
Again, many Thanks! Wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday season!
