INTRODUCTION
Can we pray the way Bartimaeus prays? People try to hush him up because by addressing Jesus as "Son of David" he is making a politically dangerous claim that Jesus is the rightful king. Could our prayers ever be heard as a threat to unjust powers that be? Bartimaeus won't give up or go away quietly, but repeats his call for help more loudly. Do we ask so boldly? And are our prayers an honest answer to Jesus' question, "What do you want me to do for you?"

All Saints Sunday
Sunday, November 7, 8:30am - In-person
11:00 a.m. - In-person and Online
All Saints celebrates the baptized people of God, living and dead, who are the body of Christ. As November heralds the dying of the landscape here in Ohio, the readings and liturgy call us to remember all who have died in Christ and whose baptism is complete.

Altar Guild & Worship Team Meeting |
When COVID struck everything shut down, including our Worship Teams and Altar Guild. Now that we are in a hybrid model with two services on a Sunday morning, we are in need of all past and current team and guild members to come to a meeting to iron out some details and go over some changes, to ensure we are all on the same page. |
|
If you are at all able to serve on the Altar Guild and/or a Worship Team, please join us for a catered luncheon after the late service on Sunday, November 14. It will be a short, but necessary meeting, as we have made some easy improvements on how we are going about things in the living of these days. |

In his Proclamation of Thanksgiving on October 3, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln wrote:
"It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice, by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November as a day of Thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens."

51st Annual Live Nativity |
Sunday, December 5, 5:30p-7:00pm
Over the years our methods for presenting the good news to the community has been modified from time to time, but the message has always been the same, "Jesus is the reason for the season."

Blue Christmas
Saturday, December 18, 7:00pm
In-Person only
Do you feel blue? Yes, blue as in the blues. As in "I am feeling blue." Not everyone is up and cheery for the Christmas holidays.
Dealing with the death of a loved one, facing life after divorce or separation, coping with the loss of a job, living with cancer or some other disease that puts a question mark over the future, and a number of other human situations make parties and joviality painful for many people.
We at AdventELC care about you and want to give you a space and a place to feel and to bring your feelings to the very same God who meets us where we are at Christmas. This service is designed to be reflective, healing and hopeful.
