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. |

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!
