About Us
We believe that Jesus Christ came to reveal the fullness of God's love for us, and we continue to celebrate that love through praise, sacraments, service, and community. |

February 25, March 4, 11, 18 and 25 We will use the Forward Movement Publications book, “Will You? A Lenten Study of Baptismal Promises” for our weekly group study this year. A brief background follows. If you look at The Baptismal Covenant on pages 304-305 of The Book of Common Prayer, you will see that the first section is basically the Apostle’s Creed. The second section is a series of five “Will You” questions. The book will explore one of these questions each week. It is not a long book and lends itself to much discussion facilitated by Dr. Michael Haney. We will gather in the Parish Hall each Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. Bring your “brown bag meal” for yourself (extra if you want to share) where we will break bread together for a few minutes and then get into the discussion. Thirty books are already here provided by a donor. We will put out sign-up sheets soon, so we know we have enough books. The hope is that each participant will donate at least $5. This demonstrates a commitment and you will receive your book early for review. That money will all go to Episcopal Relief and Development. Hope to see many of you February 25!! Eucharistic Visitor Ministry
Your Vestry is very pleased to announce the return of this very important ministry. It has been a few years since we had a licensed Eucharistic Visitor, but recently Dr. Michael Haney completed the short class and is licensed. He has actually visited a parishioner already and brought her communion, fellowship and most importantly a connection to all of us at Advent. We will figure out a rotation to visit our homebound parishioners. We want to reach out to those who might be home for a shorter time for illness and/or surgery and unable to come to church too. Please let a Vestry member or the office know of any need. Remember that we only have one person now. Hopefully, a class will be held in early ‘26 and we have two volunteers waiting to go! From our Godly Play Team
Godly Play has resumed for the Fall. The class meets in the Evelyn & Bill May Godly Play Room at 10:15 on the 1st, 2nd & 3rd. Sundays each month. 2026 - Cuban Companion Parish assistance update
Dear Adventers: Thank you is not enough for your continued commitment and generosity to our brothers and sisters in Christ at our companion parish, La Trinidad in Los Arabos, Cuba. Through your generosity for the past year, we were able to send monthly food for community meals and most recently, over the counter medications. These community meals are prepared at La Trinidad and are available to the 45 parishioners where they come to the church for the meals. From December 2024 – December 2025 we successfully sent $2,547.16 worth of food to Fr. Juan Carlos through SuperMarket23. Additionally, we have made two shipments of over-the-counter medications including $361.18 in shipping. These medications were donated by each of you and Fr. Rick’s church in Clearwater.
