If we could have one person volunteer to stay and help out each Sunday, that would be awesome. I made a sign-up here through February.

I won't be here on February 20th so if two folks wanted to take that day on that would be awesome--service project, bible lesson, fellowship event--whatever you want! I'm happy to help with planning.

For the 17th year, on 2/13, Advent's children & youth will be participating in the Souper Bowl of Caring Food Drive and collecting non-perishable food and monetary donations for KACS.

For monetary online giving, follow this link and choose "Food Cupboard" in the dropdown menu.

PS: If you are going to Car Communion, there is no need to even get out of your car - our youth volunteers will unload for you!

Let's tackle hunger together!

Most need items are:	Dried beans	Peanut butter	Cooking oil
Rice (no 10 lb. bags please)	Canned tuna	Strawberry& grape jelly	Plain tomato
Small-shaped pasta	Cereal	Flour/maseca	Low-sodium canned veg

Bible Study - Online

Wednesdays from

10:00 am – 11:30 am

When we reconvene, we are now reading “The Heart of Christianity: Rediscovering a Life of Faith” by Marcus Borg. This book explores the emerging paradigm of Christian life that can provide direction and faith in difficult times. Although it builds on other books we have studied, it stands alone and offers approaches and practices that can make living the Christian life a vibrant and transformational experience.

We welcome new members and hope you will join us for our readings and discussions.
