This Sunday’s gospel reading is from the Gospel of Luke, where Jesus indicates to several the haste and speed of his mission: “To another he [Jesus] said, ‘Follow me.’ But he said, ‘Lord, first let me go and bury my father.’ But Jesus said to him, ‘Let the dead bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.’ Another said, ‘I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home.’ Jesus said to him, ‘No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.’”

The Church the Advent has embarked on a unique worship format with recorded audio-visual sermons from around the world, and then a group discussion afterward.
•
This has proven to be a popular format and we invite you to attend.
•
While our liturgical structure is to monthly have a visiting priest to celebrate Eucharist (communion), on the other Sundays we listen openly to sermons from other Episcopal churches and other Christian faith communities. The videos are well done and engaging, as is the group discussion afterward.
•
We couple this approach with something we call Morning Prayer. This is essentially reading the biblical texts that are assigned for a given day, within our denomination’s daily worship service — which itself is full of scriptural texts, so they are both educational and inspiring.
•
We invite you to come step through our door and give it a try. To top it off, we have coffee hour every Sunday before church in the building behind the main church building.

Bishop Mark Van Koevering: “Together, we can make this vision a living vision that is shared by all. As promised at Special Convention 2019, a Vision Study Guide has been produced to: 1) Enhance our mutual understanding of our common vision; 2) Enable each faith community to put the vision into context locally; and 3) Strengthen our unity as a Church.” Download the guide by clicking HERE.
