Palm Sunday, April 5 at 10:30am
On Palm Sunday, we encounter the paradox that defines our faith: Jesus Christ is glorified king and humiliated servant. We too are full of paradox: like Peter, we fervently desire to follow Christ, but find ourselves afraid, denying God. We wave palms in celebration on this day as Christ comes into our midst, and we follow with trepidation as his path leads to death on the cross. We begin this week, this Holy Week that stands at the center of the church year, anticipating the completion of God’s astounding work.

There is a need to be socially distant. There is a strong desire to be together. Here's a way to do both on Easter!

Join us at AdventELC's parking lot, STAY IN YOUR CARS, KEEP THE WINDOWS UP, and DIAL IN YOUR RADIOS TO 91.1 FM.

Join us for a Service of the Word as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus! More details to come.
See Christ Clearly in 2020
AdventELC's theme for the year is: See Christ Clearly in 2020 . We look to direct our attention and energy in two ways: seeing Christ clearly personally and showing Christ clearly to the world.
Share THE Story
This is a moment in time that it is REALLY important that YOU share the story of Jesus and His love! Please SHARE via email, talking, texting, and social media the opportunity to worship with us during Holy Week with everyone you know!

This is a moment in time when we look to see Christ clearly and make Christ clearly seen.

I invite you to come to church with me tonight, via YouTube. Today is Maundy Thursday: a day where we remember Jesus' command and invitation to love one another. Our pastor has an interactive worship service planned for tonight at 7pm.

Today is Good Friday. Christ’s death offers life to all. I am going to worship with my church over YouTube and if you have never been to a Good Friday service, this is a good one.
Join me tonight at 7pm via Live Stream Worship.
While we may be apart we give thanks to God that we live in a time where technology still provides us ways of being together!

Continue to call each other and utilize internet communication.
You are not alone!

Worship with us and join Pastor Aaron in Bible Study.
