We are a community of faith that expresses itself
through the views of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We strive to live out God’s grace
by worshiping God, sharing time together in fellowship, and reaching out to our neighbors. We
have a place for you here in the mission and ministry of Advent Lutheran Church.
Sunday Worship 8:45 am Contemporary 10:45 am Traditional

It’s That Time Again
…time to ABIDE!!!
I know that we have several ministries
coming up geared towards our youth and
children, but after these events Advent is
headed towards several weeks of abiding.
In June, we will have Vacation Bible
School, AFFIRM, and the ELCA Youth
Gathering, which will bring about the
development of faith in our youth and
children, will bring about lots of excitement,
and will create wonderful new memories.
As we live and move and have our being as
God’s own, we experience times of hard
work and times of rest. John 15 uses
slightly different terms: Abiding and
Bearing Fruit. In times of Abiding, we are
not just sitting idly. We might be going on
vacations, we might be alone, we might be
with others, we might be resting, we might
be planning. All of these “abiding” modes
mean that we won’t see the fruit being
produced. The fruit – the work – comes
later. Give yourself permission to rest!
One event occurring at the beginning of
June is our Synod Assembly for the
Southeastern Synod of the ELCA, when we
gather in Chattanooga, TN, June 1-3, 2018.
One very exciting development is that our
congregation council elected two special
Voting Members to vote at the assembly on
behalf of Advent. Those elected are a youth
(under 18) and a young adult (18-30). The
youth is Dylan Jannett, who is also attending
the assembly as the SESLYO Chaplain.
(SESLYO is the synod’s youth organization:
SouthEastern Synod Lutheran Youth
Organization.) And for our young adult
voting member (who once served as the vice
chair and chair of SESLYO) is our
seminarian, Elizabeth Hawkins! I do not
know of any congregation that has had both
a YOUTH and a YOUNG ADULT as their 2
voting members! This is very exciting! I
June 2018 Newsletter TheAdventChurch.com
hope you are as excited for this development
as I am.
Peace to you as you find ways to abide this
summer… Pr. Michael Jannett
UP …developing a closer walk with God …
