Live Stream This Sunday's
Worship Service at 10:30 am
In today's gospel reading, Jesus tells a vineyard parable, which serves as an image of Israel, the prophets' mission, and Christ's death. For Christians, the vineyard also speaks of God's love poured out in the blood of Christ, given to us for the forgiveness of sin. Grafted onto Christ the vine at baptism, we are nourished with wine and bread so that we may share Christ's sufferings and know the power of his resurrection.
We want to help parents and grandparents by providing resources for teaching about God's love to youth at home.

Attention all creatures great and small! Every day we receive a special kind of unconditional love from our pets. Just as we receive blessings for ourselves, don’t our other family members deserve them, too? Sunday, October 4th at 4:00 PM we will observe a beloved Advent Church tradition, the annual BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS.

We will join together (weather permitting) with our faithful companions for a lively outdoor service of blessing and thanksgiving. Bring lawn chairs or a blanket. Because there continues to be a need for cat and dog food assistance at the local LSS food pantries, those attending the service are asked to bring a small bag (please no large bags!) or can of cat or dog food. Members of the congregation are encouraged to make a similar donation. Donations can be brought to the church on Sunday mornings or, beginning September 28th, dropped off in the designated bin outside the east entry to the church.  
 
Please join us for this spirited celebration of all God’s beautiful creation!!
 
NOTE:  If the weather on October 4th seems "iffy," check our website (adventelc.org) before you come in case the service has been postponed.
