Weekly E-Herald
2nd Sunday In Lent
As Jesus sets outward on the journey to Jerusalem and the cross, the way of the cross is already traced in these pronouncements. The way of the cross names things as they are. It names the crisis of faith in which we live. This crisis places its trust in political rulers and in the “armies,” that is, in all those things that center our attention upon our own worth or ability. In contradiction, the psalmist cries, “Teach me your way, O Lord” (27:11).

New Members Welcomed
On Sunday we welcomed nine new members to our family of faith here at AdventELC!

Thanks to their shepherds for showing them "the ropes" and we look forward to future worship and ministry with our sisters and brothers in Christ!
Signs of Lent
You are invited on a journey in the season of Lent by way of a midweek series of services based on the concept of road signs. Like signs we see along the roads that tell us what to do, we see signs along the way on our Lenten journey that show us our way forward in Christ.

Midweek Lenten Worship Services began with Ash Wednesday and continues every Wednesday leading up to Holy Week.
Midweek Lenten Soup Suppers Before Services
Our annual, weekly Midweek Lenten Soup Suppers begin on March 13 at 6:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Have you signed up to help? The sign up sheet is in the Narthex. After dinner, join us in the Sanctuary for a Midweek Lenten service to help us prepare our hearts and minds for the Easter Resurrection Celebration.
During these 40 days of Lent we’ll be carefully watching for signs along the road. We will follow the road that Jesus took, the road that led him to the cross. We will follow in his steps and pay special attention to the road signs we see along the way. It is important that we not ignore them. They are signs that help us learn about our Lord and his path to the cross for us, and they are signs that we will follow.
This year’s photo challenge is to help you as you’re out and about, look at the signs around you and remember God’s direction in and for your life.

Easter Breakfast News
Soon we begin the season of Lent, followed by Holy Week and Easter, as we prepare for this journey please keep in mind your time and talents here at Advent. Pam Kasai has graciously organized the Easter breakfast for many years. We are so grateful for the time she and her family have dedicated to this wonderful event every year.
However, after this Easter, Pam has decided to step aside from this yearly task and Parish Life is looking for other individual(s) to accept this task so that Easter breakfast can continue in the future. It would make the transition easier if someone would assist Pam this year, so they know the logistics and details. If no one is willing to step up we may have no choice but to cancel the Easter breakfast in 2020. If you have further questions or are interested in being a part of this fellowship event, please contact; Pam Kasai or Christy Habermehl .
Easter Flowers
Despite the snow and cold weather Advent is looking forward to the Easter Celebration and the Sanctuary filled with blooms furnished by our Congregation.  The order blanks will be in the Sunday bulletin each week to make it easy to order. This year we have added several items for your possible interest. Place your orders early but before the deadline of March 31.
AdventELC has a ministry focused on praying for you in situations and times of need. If you would like us to pray for you, tell us your need or situation by submitting a prayer request.
