A Word from the Pastors
"10When the wise men saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. 11On entering the
house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening
their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” Matthew 2: 10-11
As we move from Christmas into the season of Epiphany, we along with the wise men come to Jesus where
we pay homage. This year, the Day of Epiphany, January 6th, falls on a Sunday. The day of Epiphany begins
a new season of the church year. On this special day we will have our Epiphany celebration on January 6th
with a special worship service, where we can pay homage to the Christ child. This will be followed by a
special luncheon and flaming cherries jubilee. Throughout the season of Epiphany we will experience little
epiphanies as to who this Christ child is, and how he came down to save and redeem each and every one of
us. We look forward to all that this new season and new year will bring.
However, before we get too far into January, we first wanted to take a moment to say thank you!
· First we give all thanks and glory and honor to God for the many blessings here at Advent Lutheran
Church. We thank God for calling us to be your pastors here in this place each and every day.
· Thank you Melinda for being our organist and music director. You have out done yourself once again this
Advent and Christmas season! Thank you for all of your hard work putting together all of the special music,
instrumentalists, choirs, joint choirs, programs, services and so much more this season. We truly give God
thanks and praise for bringing you to Advent. We are so blessed with your talents on the organ and for the
love you show directing all music at Advent. You always go above and beyond in your musical calling and
we are so grateful for you!
· Thank you Tara for your kindness, love, and dedication as Advent’s Church secretary. You always work
so diligently through the many hours and days it takes to put the bulletins and newsletters together each sea-
son of the year. You are always so caring and go the extra mile to make everything so organized and effi-
cient in the church office. You bring such a glow of positivity that can be felt throughout the office and we
thank you for all of your hard work.
· Thank you to all who serve on the Altar Guild throughout the year. Advent has such a dedicated team of
members that work tirelessly in their preparations for worship and truly help to lift our joint worship to
God. Thank you Renee Blanchette for serving faithfully as the Altar Guild chairperson. You truly care,
love, and show excitement for the ways we praise our Lord. Your attention to detail, including making the
communion bread each week, and ironing the paraments is so appreciated! Each of our members give gen-
erously of their time behind the scenes. This year, we want to say a special thank you to Mary Suprek who
is stepping down from her time on Altar Guild. We truly give God thanks for the many years she has served
with a loving and generous heart for God!
· Thank you to the choir for sharing your love of music and praise of God through music. Thank you for
your faithful time given in choir practice. Your dedication truly shows forth through all of the wonderful
anthems and special music you share throughout the year. Your work and dedication is truly inspiring and
lifts our worship to God!
· Thank you to all those who help to lead worship. A special thank you to all who serve as greeters, aco-
lytes, crucifers, ushers, lectors, assisting ministers, and counters. Your faithful stewardship of time and tal-
ents really help the whole church give all praise and glory to God in the most highest.
· Thank you Heather Herrmann, Lynn Reed, Jaime Sadenwasser, Marcy Jimenez and Melinda East for all you
did with the Intergenerational Christmas Program. Thank you to all who came to practice each and every Satur-
day in November and December. From the children to the adults, the program this year truly helped us to re-
member to turn down the noise and distractions and open our eyes to the blessings we receive this time of year,
as we remember the Nativity of our Lord.
· Thank you to all of our special musicians who shared their musical gifts during the Christmas Eve services!
We had wonderful pre-service musical pieces from members of Advent. It was amazing to hear the choir share
multiple anthems and our children share a musical gift as well. The special instrumental offerings also add so
much to make this Christmas Eve so elevated as we join together in our praise of Christ who is born for us and
in us! What a most blessed Christmas Eve worship time it was!
· Thank you to our awesome Banner ministry! The new Christmas banners are spectacular! Paired with the new
white paraments, the sanctuary for Christmas was truly majestic. The creativity and artistry helped us truly
glorified God to the most highest!
· Thank you to the Fellowship ministry led by Linda Jaath for providing the many special opportunities to eat
together in God’s name during Advent and Christmas. From the Wednesday nights in Advent, to all the recep-
tions following events, we truly had many opportunities to come together and fellowship in Jesus' name. The
family that eats together grows in faith together.
· Thank you to the Service ministry led by Linda Lawrence this Christmas season. This ministry truly pulled
together with many hands doing all the work together. Over 14 families were blessed through the angel tree and
holiday food baskets. Thank you to the congregation for continuing to be so generous in giving to those in
need!
· Thank you to our congregational council members. President Angie Hubble, Vice President Erin Taylor,
Treasurer Steve Merzlak, Secretary Marcy Jimenez, and council at-large members Zack Teffeteller and Diana
Perry! What a faithful and enthusiastic group that truly wants the best for Advent at every turn. You follow Je-
sus' command to love one another and share this love throughout the congregation with so much faith and com-
mitment. We are truly blessed to have such leaders as you!
· Thank you Steve and Debbie Merzlak for your continued faithfulness as Advent's financial secretaries. You
continue to balance the books, pay the bills, and manage all the finances of the church and so much more in the
most trustworthy ways. Your strong leadership as stewards of the finances of the church are remarkable and a
true witness to your love and dedication to God at Advent.
· Thank you for the many special personal gifts and the congregational monetary Christmas gift this year. We
are always humbled by your love, generosity, and support. This year even more so as we were absolutely God
smacked by the gift of new white and gold vestments. What a special gift of love we will remember as long as
we live. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
· And a SPECIAL THANK YOU to the people of God at Advent. Your continued serving and love in this
Church really exemplifies the light of Christ shining brightly in this congregation, community, and world. We
truly feel God at work at Advent through all the many ministries. Each time we gather together for worship or
fellowship or serve together in God's name, we feel at home. We look forward to a blessed 2019 and what God
has in store for us at Advent Lutheran Church!
In Christ’s love,
Pastor Jason and Pastor Andrea

I want to thank everyone for a wonderful Advent-Christmas Season. I want
to especially thank the choir, the youth, & the children and adults who partici-
pated in the Christmas Program on December 23. Thanks to Heather
Herrmann and Jamie Sadenwasser who directed, to the Christmas Commit-
tee’s planning and leadership and to Pastors Andrea and Jason. We had a de-
lightful Christmas musical nativity told from the perspective of the animals in
the stable. So much fun and so meaningful!
Also, a special thanks to Samantha Jimenez for organizing a beautiful French
Horn Christmas Concert for our Chrismon service.
We had a wonderful Christmas Eve, thanks to our choir, children’s choir, and
guest musicians: Jesse Garrison, Lauren Cawthon, Trumpet, and Morgan
Anderson, tuba.
For our Pre-Service Music, Violet Herrmann played a piano solo and we had
vocal solos by Heather Herrmann, Jim Smith, Pam Tipler, Holly Sadenwasser
and Amy Smith. All was done beautifully! Thanks to everyone involved in
Christmas Eve music!
I’m looking forward to a great spring season. Choir practice begins again on
Wednesday, January 9th. It will be on Wednesday from 6:30pm - 7:30pm. If
you enjoy singing, come and sing with us.
Blessings!
Melinda East
EDUCATION MINISTRY The Education Ministry would like to thank all of the people who came together to
make this year’s Christmas program a success. All of the actors, singers, set de-
signers, costumers, set builders, musicians, prop providers, cheerleaders and en-
thusiastic audience members helped to make the musical a success. The sanctuary
was filled with Christmas joy and love as we worshipped God in a special way.
In Christ,
Heather Herrmann
NEW ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS
Beginning on January 13, 2019, Gayle Ricklefs will lead a
new Adult Sunday School Class. The class will run through
March 3, 2019. The class will focus on Love through their
study of the biblical book of First John.
1 John is a book of comfort and challenge. It comforts us
with the reminder that we are children of God. It challenges
us to make our faith genuine by expressing in our lives what
we believe in our hearts.
We hope you can come to this class as we explore how as children of God, we can
best live out our lives through love.
NEW YOUTH SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS
Beginning on January 13, 2019, Marcy Jimenez will lead a youth
Sunday School Class on Hunger. More than 800 million people -
that's 11 percent of people in our world today - are hungry. These
classes will discuss Hunger in our World and how we can raise
awareness and learn more about our bib-
lical witness to help our neighbor in
need. The class will lead up to our an-
nual Super Bowl of Caring on February
3, 2019.
Advent Lutheran Altar Guild,
A very special thank you to the wonderful devotion
of the Altar Guild Ladies. You have all worked so
hard to make our weekly Sunday services go so
smoothly. All of you make being part of the Altar
Guild an easy task for me at Advent each week.
Each and everyone of you are always there to help
when extra help is needed. And so I would like to
thank, Martha Ostendorff, Heather Herrmann, Linda Lawrence, Jamie Sadenwasser
and Julie Fillgrove. I could not lead the Altar Guild without you. To our newcom-
ers, Brandi Pate, Gina Hammock, Kate Peterson and Violet Herrmann, thank you
for joining our team. A grateful thank you to Pastor Andrea and Pastor Jason for
all the answered questions and help with any problems that arose during the
year. And a very special thank you to Mary Suprek for her many years of service
with our Altar Guild family.
Always in my heart,
Renee Blanchette
Advent will be welcoming new members on Sunday, January 20th during

tend the class on the 13th. If you have any questions, Pastor Jason and

Greetings from Liverpool—Pam Tipler
While at my tropical medicine course in Liverpool, we had lectures on lep-
rosy. My mind would wander to Matthew 8 when Jesus healed the man with lep-
rosy. The man cried out, "make me clean." After these lectures, I felt a calling to
see 1st hand this population of people who are so stigmatized by this disease...a
disease that is curable. Even up until the 1940s, doctors used to throw medica-
tions at leprosy patients as they stood in the doorway. So I went to India where
the incidence and prevalence of leprosy is the highest in the world. In Mumbai,
the population is almost 20 million with 60% being in the slums. The Bombay
Leprosy Project goes out to the slums, looking for possible new cases based on
skin changes, sensory loss, and nerve enlargement. Because there are no "streets"
in the slums, maps are drawn with landmarks so that patients can be found. Pa-
tients can then be brought to a referral center where their skin lesions are mapped,
sensation and function are evaluated, and skin smears are performed to look for
the bacteria that causes leprosy. Once officially diagnosed, patients are started on
multidrug therapy that is free of cost to the patient. If they have deformities, they
are given assistive devices to help. If they have early or partial paralysis, they un-
dergo physiotherapy. In the rural areas where access to care is very limited, pa-
tients have severe deformities and the project goes out there and gives them shoes
to protect their feet and clean wounds. When in America, I am used to always being on the go. I find myself needing
to fill downtime with other tasks. When I am overseas, I am usually more re-
laxed. I am more ok with downtime. However, there were times in India where I
felt like I was not contributing as I was not seeing the massive amounts of patients
that I normally do. I would get aggravated. How can I be making a difference if
I'm just sitting around? How can I be doing God's work and spreading Christ's
love if I'm just having conversations with people? But that's just it! Christ is still
working through me (and all of us) and had me meet all of the people who work
for the project. Christ was showing me how He is working through them! I heard
and saw so many stories on how that project is making a huge impact. Christ has
blessed these people with incredible gifts, and they are using them to their utmost
capabilities.
Although at times I felt like I was doing nothing, when a patient smiled because I
touched them...a simple human touch that they haven't experienced because of the
stigma of the disease...I could see Christ's light. I know that Christ was also teach-
ing me to Be Still and to be patient. Learn the lessons I am supposed to. Touch
the lives of those around me and show His light and love. I do not always need to
fill the "void" because Christ fills my life. There is no void. Christ reminds us
that even God rested. It is important to rest to reflect and grow closer to God. I'm
blessed for the experience I had in India and to see the incredible impact they have
made in thousands of lives.
In Christ,
Pam

A SPECIAL WORD ABOUT STEPHEN MINISTRY Stephen Ministry was established in 1975 by the Reverend Ken-
neth Hauck, when he realized two significant truths about the
pastoral care aspect of his ministry. First, he realized that as
much as he wanted to, he simply could not maintain a high and
consistent quality of care to his congregants. The need was too
great for one person to handle. The second truth he realized was
that there were very gifted lay members who had hearts for Je-
sus, and a desire to walk with, and help those who were suffer-
ing. And so, he gathered together a group of such people, and
trained them the art of compassionate care, empathy, and listen-
ing.
In the past 44 years, the Holy Spirit has grown Stephen Ministry across our country, and
across denominations reaching more than 13, 000 congregations. It has grown because it is a
ministry that is so needed, and because it is one that is an absolute blessing to people of God.
It is a blessing to pastors who want the best care for the people they shepherd, and it is a bless-
ing to people who are going through a difficult time. And the truth is, it is also a blessing to
those who are called to be Stephen Ministers. Advent Lutheran Church is one of the !3,000
congregations and has been blessed by this ministry for over 25 years.
Over the next few months Stephen Ministry will be publicized, highlighted, and explained so
that everyone at Advent is aware of this beautiful ministry and the benefits they, or someone
they know, can receive. For starters, let me give and overall explanation. Stephen Ministry is
a one-to-one lay caring ministry that trains, equips, and empowers lay caregivers- called
Stephen Ministers- to provide high quality, confidential, Christ centered care to people who
are dealing with tough times: the loss of a loved one, diagnosis of a chronic illness, job loss, a
move, divorce, or other life-changing events. Stephen Ministers meet weekly with their care
receiver and are there to listen and be a compassionate companion, one who provides emo-
tional and spiritual support.
Here at Advent we currently have 6 Stephen Ministers. They are Gayle Ricklefs, Ann Simon,
Marcy Jimenez, Carol Billings, Bobby Bisbee, and Liza Fincher. Each week, following wor-
ship, two of them will be standing at the Stephen Ministry banner in the narthex, They will be
ready and willing to answer any questions you may have about the ministry as a whole, or how
to receive care. It is my prayer that after this year of promotion and education, we will be
ready to begin a new training. There will be more information on this at a later date. In the
meantime, please pray for this ministry and how God might be calling you to receive the gift
of this one to one care.
In Christ,
Pastor Andrea

A WORD FROM ADVENT’S COUNCIL PRESIDENT
It is a tradition at Advent Lutheran Church to take a moment at Christmas time to recog-
nize our Amazing Pastors and our Awesome staff with a heartfelt thank you and a gift
from the congregation.
If you have ever had the opportunity to deal with Tara, then you know how truly out-
standing she is! Each year we continue to increase her workload and responsibilities and
she accomplishes every task with grace and precision. We truly thank you Tara for all
your hard work and dedication!
Bradi Pate is our Nursery Attendant. It is hard to remember a time when Brandi was not
single handedly running the nursery. In fact, I would bet that many of our now teenagers
probably started out in the nursery with Brandi. Each week Brandi cares for our young-
est Lutherans in the nursery. For all Brandi’s care for our littlest ones, we truly give
thanks to our God for you!
Melinda East is our fabulous Music Director and Organist. Each week Melinda spends
hours and hours at the church working tirelessly to learn and perfect the music that we
enjoy and sing along to each week. This past year, Melinda was able to incorporate a lot
of our children and youth into the choir seamlessly along with leading us musically in
all the many wonderful services throughout the year. Melinda is truly a blessing to Ad-
vent. Thank you Melinda.
Speaking of blessings to our church, I would like to thank our AMAZING Pastors, Pas-
tor Andrea and Pastor Jason. Words cannot begin to describe how much they mean to
both me personally as well as to all the people of God here at Advent. Each week they
pour their hearts and souls into caring for us and teaching us God’s Word. They lead us,
they mentor us, they participate in all the ministries, and help us to become stronger
Christians. They serve in absolutely every capacity and strive to start even more minis-
tries to ensure everyone is involved and feels like they have a place to call home here at
Advent. They truly love us and I think I can speak for the whole congregation when I
say, we truly love them too! Thank you so much Pastors Andrea and Jason!
We are truly blessed here at Advent to have such amazing and gifted leadership and I
truly give God all thanks and praise!
In Christ’s service,
Angie Hubble, Advent Church Council President
