Lenten Mid-Week Services are on Wednesdays through April 10 at 7:00 p.m. A light supper will be served each week at 6:15 p.m. If you would like to contribute any of the food items needed for the meals, please see the sign-up sheets in the church narthex. We thank you for helping make the meals delicious. We have many good cooks at Advent! Any questions about the dinners, please contact Lois Durr or Maryanne Warne.

Lent Wednesday, April 3– “A God with a Mother” (Revelation 12:1–6; John 19:25–27): We recall that the man Jesus had to be born and grow in the body of, and under the care of, His mother. But Mary is also His disciple, given to another, John, at the foot of the cross. And in our human relationships, we are all, parents and children, disciples of the man Jesus.

Easter Lilies: This year, the Easter Lilies will be purchased with monies currently in the flower fund. However, you will have the opportunity to ‘sponsor’ an Easter lily. Donations from sponsorships will be sent to Lumberton, NC, for the hurricane relief fund. On March 31, there will be a bulletin insert that will let you fill out your Easter Lily Sponsor donation in honor or memory of your loved ones. The sponsorships will then be listed in the bulletin as usual.
