Church Council Invitation
Calling all members of Advent!
 
Advent's church council invites all members 18 years of age or older to prayerfully consider being a member of church council. We have 3 positions that will be voted on at June 16th annual meeting. Church council positions are held for 2 years, with an opportunity to serve for up to 3 consecutive terms or 6 years. We meet monthly and oversee the teams, staff and finances for our church. Council members also serve as members on one or our 4 teams (Administration, Parish Life, Social Concerns and Worship and Witness). Members are encouraged but not obligated to become counters for the weekly and special offerings. We are a diverse group who have grown in fellowship and knowledge of our congregation. Please contact Holly Cronau, council president by May 31st if you are interested in being a part of this ministry of administration! holly.cronau@icloud.com

STRESSED OUT!
an Adult Bible Study
The Bible gives us some clear ways to find peace in the midst of stress. Everyone wants peace of mind. We look for it in a lot of different ways— from pills to pillows, from mantras to mediation. But true peace comes only from Christ.

Join us this week for a Adult Bible Study session on Biblical Ways to
Overcome Stress.

Summer Bible Study
These are the topics of our Tuesday morning Bible Studies that we will discuss this summer. You can get a head start while enjoying your morning coffee. We will be able to meet in the fellowship hall for these meetings.

June 11  A New Spring Wardrobe
June 25  An Age of Grace

We will be taking the month of July off and be back on August 13. Contact Julie Page with any questions.
STEWARDSHIP
STEWARDSHIP THOUGHTS - TIME & TALENTS


Good Stewardship is not just about money. Good stewardship is a way of life.

Oftentimes we think of a Church Stewardship program in terms of money & finances. A “steward” however is more broadly defined as one who oversees property, supplies, and services. So Christian Stewardship includes not only the oversight of money and property but also human capital – our time and talents.

Advent’s Mission Statement is to Worship God, Follow Jesus, Serve Others, & Make Disciples. Our Mission Statement is not passive – it is intentionally action oriented. Ours is a living faith. Following his resurrection Jesus appeared to his disciples in Galilee and said to them, “All authority in heaven and earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:18-19

Advent members and friends contribute thousands of hours each year to the support of our Mission. For details on some of the ways that you can support our Mission please see the current Activities & Ministries Directory which can be found under the “Serve” tab of our website adventelc.org or talk to Pastor Aaron, our volunteer coordinator, Beckie Evans-Zaebst, or any member of our Congregation Council or staff about your interests.
Youth & Family Corner
Each year we invite everyone to consider going to camp!

For youth K-12 our home camp is Lutheran Memorial Camp (LMC) which is located about 45 min north of Columbus, near Mt. Gilead.

At LMC you can explore woodlands, Alum Creek, ponds and numerous nature trails throughout 400 acres at LMC. There are two retreat facilities, 15 cabins, full food service, swimming pool, outdoor chapel, Low ropes challenge course, Hiking trails, and Bible Study!

Are you an single adult or a family looking for a place apart to disconnect from the world and reconnect with God and loved ones? Family Camp at Camp Luther is a great way to do just that!

Camp Luther is located on 66 wooded acres along the shores of Lake Erie, provides a stunning view with sensational sunsets. There are 35 cabins with restroom facilities, full food service, swimming pool, outdoor chapel, indoor chapel, and hiking trails. In fact, our very own Pastor Aaron Layne will be the chaplin of the camp July 7-13!


CONFIRMATION YOUTH --- Remember you MUST go to camp at least 2 out of the 3 years of our program. We are going to camp June 9-14 at LMC. Register up TODAY by clicking on the button below.

BLAST OFF the SUMMER
at VBS!

One small step for your kids...one giant leap for God's Kingdom!

Blast off with the first VBS to land on the moon! To Mars and Beyond will help children discover the wonders of God's universe.

At AdventELC's VBS children will become Voyagers on a journey through space, exploring where God's power can take them. Beginning in our Assembly area-an outpost on Mars-they'll lift off to distant planets on special missions to collect power sources. Along the way, they'll learn how God walked with heroes of the Bible, and that God is always with them, too. Add to the adventure with out-of-this-world fun, learning, and timeless Bible stories that inspire children to give glory to God, who is able to do far beyond all that we could ask or imagine!

For more information and to register go to AdventELC.org/vbs.
VBS Decorating Team
CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS! We need help creating decorations for Advent's VBS this summer. Our decorating committee will be meeting on Tuesday nights from 6:30-8 p.m. beginning Tuesday, May 28th. We'd love for all the help we can get! This year's theme is MARS so we will be making planets and other "spacey" things out of cardboard and various materials. It's always a lot of fun! If you have any questions, please contact Allison Ollanketo at bwollank@hotmail.com .
Celebration of Life
A Celebration of Life for Carol Robnolte Cornell will be Saturday June 1st at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, 48 Church Street Bellville, OH 44813. Come visit with family and friends from 10:00 until 11:30. At 11:30 we will remember Carol's life well lived, sing her favorite worship songs and commune together. Everyone is invited to lunch in the fellowship hall after the service. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Central Ohio Hospice or St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Belleville, Ohio.
