God does not promise that the path of the disciple will be easy. Jeremiah feels the pain of rejection from those who do not want to hear what he has to say. Jesus declares that his words may bring stark division. Even so, we need not be afraid for God accounts for each hair on our heads. Though we may experience rejection, frustration, division, and death, God's grace and love make us a new creation each day. Marked with the cross and filled with holy food, we are sent from worship to witness to Christ in the world.

As we continue to move through these uncharted waters of the pandemic, it becomes more apparent that it is not possible to do Vacation Bible School (VBS) like we have in past years because of social distancing guidelines. After praying and considering many different alternatives, VBS has not been forgotten!
We will be offering a two-pronged approach: 1) Advent's VBS TOUR 2020 and 2) Virtual VBS.
1) Introducing Advent's VBS TOUR 2020!
Can we come to your driveway
to share fun, smiles, and Jesus' love to your little one(s) this Summer? We don't want to miss seeing you so we've put together a simple 'driveway' devotion for our visit.
Parents, keep the door open while you take a minute (stay nearby...and fold laundry, read a book, or whatever!) or grab a lawn chair to watch or gather supplies & participate with us. You choose your level of involvement; we want to serve your whole family!
We will operate on a first come first serve basis (we'd love to get to everyone but not sure of the level of response...or our capacity ;) !).
VBS Tour Dates = Your 'stop' on the tour is intended to be 30-45 minutes and sometime between July 6th -July 31st (our leaders will communicate with you via email so we can set up when is best).
