WORSHIPPING
IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING
What if "church" were a verb instead of a noun?
What if church was not a location to come to and stay within, but a base of operation for expressing your faith by moving out into communities and around the globe to become part of God's plan for world transformation?
If you found such a "place," would you come?
You are invited to explore the Advent UMC website to see for yourself how the people of Advent are rethinking and renewing what the church is and should be in the 21st century.
We are an active and engaged faith community. We hope you will find a doorway at Advent that you will be comfortable walking through in order to connect with God, with the world around you, and with a community of people that will love and care for you and help you along the journey of your life.

What if "church" was thought of not as a building, but as thousands of doors, each of them opening to a different concept or experience of church, so that whoever knocks might find a journey to call their own?

Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding God’s starving children hungry in body and spirit through a simple, but effective approach: children and adults hand-pack meals formulated specially for starving children, and help
finance shipment of the meals to more than 60 countries around the world.
Advent has a standing commitment to bring a team of 40 volunteers to the
Eagan FMSC Packing Site (990 Lone Oak Road) the third Saturday of every month,
from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Volunteers may sign up for a service date by contacting
the church office at 651.454.3944 or e-mail admin@advent-umc.com.

Haiti Mission
Advent has sponsored a short-term volunteer in mission team to Haiti
each year since 2001. These teams have typically spent about 11 days in Haiti in early
November, helping with construction on various building projects coordinated through
the Methodist Church of Haiti. One of the most special opportunities has been visiting the children receiving care for Tuberculosis and other illnesses at Grace Children's Hospital
in Port-au-Prince. Team leaders Jerry & Joni Fenner are experienced and knowledgeable
about Haiti.
These are just two of the ways the people of Advent serve others around the world. If you would like more information about either of these outreach opportunities, or other ways to get involved through Advent, contact Carol Whisnant, Outreach Team Leader,outreachchair@advent-umc.com.
