Call Committee: Pastor Scott and Gina Lohman and their son Jonathan will be visiting Advent and the area from the evening of Wednesday, October 25 through the morning of Saturday, October 28. The Council and Call Committee will meet with them on Thursday, Oct. 26 at 6:00 p.m. at Advent. The congregation is invited to join us at 7:30 p.m. for dessert. These will be casual gatherings to allow them time to ask questions and get to know us better. Please keep Pastor Scott, his family, his current congregation, and Advent in your prayers that the Lord might lead him to a clear decision as to where He wants him to serve. He will decide whether to accept or return the call by Sunday, November 5. We will update you via email, bulletin announcements, and our website whenever we have new information.
Change the World One Life at a Time: Sunday, November 5, 2017 at Dorton Arena on the NC State Fairgrounds. The worship service will begin at 12:30 p.m. Check our website for all the details including information about the event and volunteering.
Art Show: Art has shaped society and motivated people for centuries. When Rev. Martin Luther created his small catechism he made sure it was printed with art that demonstrated and taught people about God’s will for their lives. To encourage the arts and continue in the spirit of the Reformation, students from across the region are asked to submit their artwork for display at Dorton Arena. All of the submitted artwork will be displayed behind the main stage on the floor of Dorton Arena. Parents, grandparents, friends and neighbors can come to visit the pieces of art that have been entered for the art show. The submission form and more info is available here.
Note that we will NOT be having classes or services at Advent that day. We are in the process of arranging transportation to Raleigh for anyone who needs it. Grace Lutheran, 824 North Buchanan Blvd, Durham will be having their 8:30 a.m. service.
Veterans: Help us prepare to recognize and honor veterans in our Advent Family. Take a moment to review and edit the list of veterans posted on the bulletin board in the hallway. You are invited to add yourself, your parents and siblings, and your children and grandchildren who have served or are serving. Contact: Carolyn Jones.
