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. |
Serving Others
Our church offers a wide range of ministry opportunities. Whether you'd like to learn more, pray more, or serve more, we have a ministry for you. |
Join Us
We gather on Sundays at 10:30 am for Holy Eucharist in Advent Church. A quiet, contemplative service of Eucharist without music is held every Sunday at 8:30 am in St. Clement's Chapel. |

News & Events
ADVENTURES newsletter (October 2, 2025)
The QuickLinks labels in the above Adventures newsletter are arranged in the following order: ECHO Thanksgiving basket
We will once again help ECHO provide a nice meal to several of their clients by providing “the fixins”. They are providing 12-14 lb turkeys; we provide green beans, yams, stuffing mix, etc. The full list will be sent out soon via e-blast. Items need to be dropped off in the Parish hall by November 10th. The people of Advent are so generous!! Thank you for signing up to contribute to ECHO’s Thanksgiving meals for their clients. We will get all the “fixins” to ECHO on Monday November 10. Thanks to you, some folks that need some help along life’s highway will sit down to a wonderful meal. Grace Mission In-Gathering
Sunday - November 16. The Rev. Rachel Hill will be our guest Celebrant/preacher on this Sunday at both services. We will gather items to contribute to Grace such as jackets, sweat shirts/pants, etc. as in the past. Kim Bergstresser will be announcing a more detailed list soon. Christmas Indoor Plant Sale
Our Christmas indoor house plant sale will be held on November 23 after both services. I am looking for any donations of mainly houseplants but if you have some small outdoor plants, those would be welcome as well. Since the weather is turning cool at night and many plants do not like the coolness, please text me when you drop off any plants outside the Parish Hall. 954-559-5543. We are looking for some volunteers to help with the sale. Please contact me (Vivian Parmenter) if you can help. There will also be a raffle. The plant is a rare Jade and Pearl Pathos. Tickets are $1.00 apiece or 6 for $5.00. Lessons and Carols
Our annual service of Lessons and Carols is scheduled as part of our Sunday 10:30 service on December 7th, which is Advent 2. The decision to have it as part of this service is mostly due to the availability of our student singers, who are a rather large part of this service. Bishop Trexler (Fr. Bill) will be with us that day. The first part of the service, “The Word”, will consist of the lessons and carols. Fr. Bill will give a short homily and then we will proceed to “The Great Thanksgiving” (Eucharist). It promises to be a great service! Everybody come and invite a friend or two or three. Breakfast with St. Nicholas 2025
Breakfast with St. Nicholas is one of Advent’s most joyous and fun outreach events. This year’s event will be Saturday, December 13, 2025, 9am – 11am in Advent’s courtyard. This is a community-wide, free event where everyone gets a chance to meet St. Nicholas and learn about his legendary gift giving which lead to the traditional Santa Claus. Guests are treated to a breakfast of eggs, grits, pancakes and Register’s sausage and children delight in playing in the “snow”, bubbles and creating holiday themed crafts. Our courtyard and church grounds provide a beautiful setting for you to start your holidays. Please join us. Cuban Companion Parish Mission Trip
Due to widespread illness from mosquito-borne disease and an active Covid variant, the mission trip has sadly been cancelled for now. This is done for the safety and health of our missionaries. We hope to reschedule next year when conditions improve. Please pray for our companion parish, La Trinidad in Los Arabos, Cuba and all the people of Cuba as they live through this health scare. Bishop Election Process
At the Morning Prayer service on 06/15/2025, Julanne Rutten gave a summary of the Special Meeting held to review the process to elect the next Diocesan Bishop. To view the summary of this Special Meeting in pdf format, click here. From our Godly Play Team
