What's Happening at Advent!

Sunday, June 26, 2022
Third Sunday after Pentecost
10:00 am – Worship with Holy Communion

Jesus has finished his ministry in Galilee of healing and teaching and proclaiming the good news of God’s love for all people, and now he invites us to follow him to Jerusalem and learn what being his disciple means. It begins when “We Are Baptized in Christ Jesus.” Being “baptized in his death” isn’t all roses and rainbows, but by the aid of the Holy Spirit whom we invoke singing “Gracious Spirit, … Come,” we can “Lift High the Cross” and, like Jesus, “the love of God proclaim.”

News . . .

Call Committee Report. The committee reported that they are moving forward with a candidate whom they plan to present to the Council in July. If the Council concurs, a congregational social meeting with the candidate will be held in August followed by a congregational meeting where everyone will be able to vote on calling that person as Advent’s new pastor and on whatever changes to the budget are needed for that person’s compensation package.

New Free Books are being continually added as PA cleans out her office. Pastor Anna’s condo won’t hold all her books, so PLEASE take some from the Welcome Center!

Confirmation Service. The Rite of Confirmation will be celebrated on July 3.

What is the book club reading? The Moon in the Palace, the story of the first and only Empress of China by Weina Dai Randel. The Advent Book Club will meet Saturday, July 16. Email the office if you'd like more information.
