LUMINARY—N�� ��� 2019

13150 W. Spanish Garden Drive�Sun City West, Arizona 85375�623.584.0350�adventaz.org

H ard to believe that two years have passed

since then Canon to the Ordinary Megan

Traquair and Canon Janet Beason visited Advent

the first weekend in November 2017 to lead us in a

par?cipatory strategic planning process for our

church. Many specific outcomes were iden?fied;

many dreams stated and planned for; many great

ideas were put onto a page in the hopes of its ac-

complishment. Well, how did we do? What s?ll

might need to be done? What else would we like

to do? What dream would we like to add to our

future life as a faith community in service to our

neighbors?

YOU are invited to come—we need to hear from

you!

Whether you par?cipated in this process then or

not, or were even a member of Advent or not, and

especially if you DID par?cipate in this planning

process in 2017, everyone is invited to join us in

Paine Hall on Saturday, November 9, 2019, for a re-

maneuvering workshop en?tled, “Renewing God’s

Dream for Advent.” The more people who come

and par?cipate, the greater vision we can create

and plan to implement. Plus, you’ll get to meet

new people from Advent and grow in your rela-

?onship with them.

When is it?

Saturday, November 9: We will gather in Paine Hall

for coffee and food bites at 8:30 AM and get un-

derway at 8:45 AM with a comprehensive review

of what we accomplished then and since then.

Canon Janet Beason is now the chair of the Com-

mission on Ministry for the Diocese of Arizona, and

as we all know, Bishop Megan Traquair is the now

the Bishop of Northern California; so neither of

them will be able to join us. However, our facilita-

tor for the day will be none other than Ms. Marilyn

Oyler, of Partners in Par�cipa�on in Phoenix.

Meet our facilitator for the day.

Marilyn Oyler is a veteran Master Facilitator of

over fiMy years and served on the team of design-

ers of the Technology of Par?cipa?on techniques

that we use. An original member of the Ins?tute

for Cultural Affairs, based in Canada but now world

-wide, Marilyn has led facilita?on trainings and

guided strategic planning workshops for organiza-

?ons literally around the world. She was also MY

trainer as I went to the TOP educa?onal workshops

in 2008 and following years to become a trained

facilitator in par?cipatory strategic planning and

other types of facilita?on for the Diocese of Arizo-

na. We will be in more than capable hands under

Marilyn’s guidance. Welcome Marilyn!

Who should go to “Renewing God’s Dream for Ad-

vent”?

Anyone interested in celebra?ng the last two years

of progress and accomplishment at Advent, and

who wishes to help dream about what we might

accomplish in the next two to three years is wel-

come. We always invite all heads of organiza?ons,

and all vestry members, as well as anyone in the

parish who is interested in Advent’s future mission

and ministry to our members and to the surround-

ing area—our true mission field.

Let Us Know You’re Coming so You Can Eat!

Please sign-up now to indicate your inten?on to

par?cipate, and so that the proper amount of food

can be obtained. There is a sign-up sheet in the

office, and one available in Paine Hall aMer church.

All are welcome!

As previously stated, we gather in Paine Hall for

coffee at 8:30 AM, lunch will be provided and we

should be finished by 1:30 PM, if not sooner. Either

Our Sunday lunches are going great! We are now

serving close to 100 people weekly. We need

about six new people for one of our teams. Serv-

ing on a team includes preparing the food, serv-

ing, and clean up once every two months. Get

your friends together and join us in this mean-

ingful ministry for our church. These gatherings

may be the only meal some share with others

each week. Or maybe their only “homemade”

meal!

A Month of Thanksgiving

By Rev. Ron Blezard

I came that they may have life,

and have it abundantly. John

10:10b

Thankful people are happy peo-

ple. It’s not just a feel-good slo-

gan on a refrigerator magnet or

bumper s?cker; it’s proven sci-

ence.

“Gra?tude helps people feel

more posi?ve emo?ons, relish

good experiences, improve their

health, deal with adversity, and

build strong rela?onships,” re-

ports Harvard Medical School’s

Healthbeat. That sounds like the

abundant life Jesus describes in

the Gospels, doesn’t it?

So why aren’t Chris?ans more

thankful and happy? While we all

some?mes face hardships that

can avert our thankfulness, many

of us simply take our blessings

for granted. Perhaps we have

succumbed to the lie we hear

from 24/7 adver?sing – that we

never have enough and never are

enough.

Hopeful news from researchers is

that thankfulness can be cul?vat-

ed. Those who consistently prac-

�ce thankfulness develop gra?-

tude and happiness.

This November, the month of

Thanksgiving, make thankfulness

a daily spiritual prac?ce. Here are

some ideas for “A month of

Thanksgiving”:

Pray thanksgiving. In your morn-

ing and evening prayers,

thank God for your life and

whatever specific blessings

come to mind.

Keep a thanks diary. Every day

write down what you are

thankful for and why. Chal-

lenge yourself to find and

pray about 10 things daily.

Express thank you. Go out of

your way to express thanks to

the people you encounter

every day with a kind word or

a note.

Create a thankfulness calendar.

Every morning write some-

thing on your calendar for

which you are grateful to

God, and think, pray and

meditate on it un?l bed?me.

Prac?ce thankfulness consistent-

ly and you might be surprised to

find yourself enjoying the abun-

dant life Jesus promises us.

Many thanks to those who aVended the Return to

you to Barb Wolfe who filled many shoes on that

day.

Fall proves to be a very busy season at Advent. Up-

coming events include the Arts & CraMs show, HHH

bake sale, Undie Sunday and the Men’s Club

Thanksgiving Dinner. Between shopping, baking

and ea?ng we will all be happy parishioners.

Please support the upcoming “Undie Sunday” that

benefits the homeless children who aVend the Chil-

dren’s First Academy. If you would like to

make a monetary dona?on instead of shopping see

Judy Purdy.

On November 30 at 9:00 AM we will decorate Paine

Hall and the church for Christmas. If you have some

spare ?me come join us; it’s always fun to see the

end results.

Lastly, “Save the Date” December 19 for the ECW

Christmas Tea and general mee?ng.

FYI we are not col-

lec?ng items for the

fashion show or the

rummage sale at this

?me.

To properly celebrate Advent's 40th Anniver-

sary of its Founding, the Episcopal Church

Women of Advent and the Advent Men’s Club

have planned an elegant, catered dinner for

5:00 PM on Saturday, December 14 in Paine

Hall. You won’t want to miss this very special

evening of celebra4on.

Sharko’s Catering will prepare and serve

the dinner and we’re all invited to just come

and enjoy ourselves as a community, cele-

bra?ng and giving thanks for 40 Great Years as

a church in Sun City West! Please pick up your

personal invita4on following Sunday worship

in the breezeway aMer the 8:00 service or in

Paine Hall following the 10:00 service. Reserva-

?ons with your menu selec?on and deposit

must be returned to the church by December 8.

Table sea?ng will be assigned and noted on

your ?cket as reserva?ons are received.

While the cost to reserve a seat at the

40ci Affb���hd�m C�l���dcbf F�hcb�dl Bdf-

rp�c is only $10 per person, the actual cost for

the catered dinner will be covered through a

freewill offering. On this special night, each of

us is asked to give generously in thanksgiving

for all that God has given to each of us through

the life and ministry of Advent Episcopal

Church. We are even arranging transporta?on

for those who might need a ride in order to

aVend. Just call Grace Roumell to ask for a ride,

or contact Louise in the church office, at (623)

584-0350.

Do not miss out on this extraordinary night—

the 40ci Affb���hd�m C�l���dcbf F�hcb�dl

Bdfrp�c in honor of the founding of Advent

Episcopal Church in Sun City West.

Book your reserva?on early and get excited!!
