Today - May 21stThis week is our LAST week of regular, Children’s Small Group meetings on Sundays until September 10th. We will be offering Children’s Worship for preschool

through 1st grade at all three worship services June 18th, 25th, July 9th, 16th, 23rd, and August 20th and 27th. In order for this to happen, we need people to

serve! This isn’t Sunday School - this is a time of worship and learning for our young preschool and early el-ementary age children. You’ll teach them about the parts of worship, sing, play games, read Scripture and respond with age appropriate activities! We need two people for each worship service.

You are welcome to serve once, twice, or as often as you’d like! Please email anne@advent-umc.org for more information.

We are so glad you are here and hope you experience the warmth of both our congregation and God’s love. There are greeters and ushers at both exits who will gladly answer your questions or guide you around our campus. If this is your first time worshiping with us, please speak with one of our greeters,

who has a gift bag for you. It is our way of saying thank you for worshiping with us today.

Welcome Guests!
