Advent's Calendar of Events
Advent is Recording the Sermons on most Sundays.


For those who did not make it to church this past Sunday, we thought we would bring the Church to you.  So we now record our Sermons on most Sundays and they will be posted each week in our email newsletter, our website, and our Facebook page.  

For the latest Sermon preached please click on the link below.

A Bit of Humor from Rachael

   Two gas company servicemen, a senior training supervisor and a young trainee, were out checking meters in a suburban neighborhood. They parked their truck the end of the alley and worked their way to the other end. At the last house, a woman looking out her kitchen window watched the two men as they checked her gas meter.
 
Finishing the meter check, the senior supervisor challenged his younger coworker to a foot race down the alley back to the truck to prove that an older guy could outrun a younger one.
 
As they came running up to the truck, they realized the lady from that last house was huffing and puffing right behind them. They stopped and asked her what was wrong.
 
Gasping for breath, she replied, "When I see two men from the gas company running as hard as you two were, I figured I'd better run too!" 


The Mission Statement of the Episcopal Church of the Advent is to provide opportunities for worship, fellowship, joy, spiritual growth and community service, all for the love of God.
