Remember to "Fall Back"
|
|
FALL BACK!!! (We gain an hour! Woohoo!!) on November 4th. Our Time falls back and we encourage you to bring your loose change to church. Please help the youth support our
Compassion International
child by bringing in your spare change to church! We are in the process of sending Jackquiline, who has been sponsored since 2010, a final gift as she has graduated from her school. Souaibou has been sponsored since 2014. He is from Burkina Faso and is in the 7th Grade. The youth communicate through letters with these children about 3 times per year. Please remember on November 4th to “fall back” an hour and bring your spare change to help support the youth in their ministry to these two children on Time and Change Sunday!

On All Saints Day we celebrate the victory won for all the faithful dead, but we grieve for our beloved dead as well, knowing that God honors our tears. We bring our grief to the table and find there a foretaste of Isaiah's feast to come.

A Special Thank You from Pastor Aaron
|
From the bottom of my heart I thank everyone who went out of their way to send me an email, card, or a gift of some kind over these past few weeks in October! It is truly a blessing to serve our God in our congregation here at AdventELC and quite the encouragement to carry on our ministry and mission together of Worshiping God, Following Jesus, Serving Others, and Making Disciples.
Thank you again so very much,
Pastor Layne
