SMALL GROUPS DURING LENT
We are forming small groups, asking existing small
groups to study a book called “I Am a Church
Member” during the season of Lent. This is not about
official membership in a church, so don’t worry if you
haven’t joined Advent. The study pushes back on the
whole “club membership” model of joining a church.
Instead, it focuses on being a member of the Body of
Christ and what it means when we choose to live out
our faith together as part of a congregation. These
books are on sale in the church lobbies for $5. If you are
interested in joining a small group to discuss this book
please contact Lynda, the Pastors’ Assistant. We
already have the following confirmed small group
offerings for anyone to join.
Sundays: 10AM at Suntree Campus: Starting March 1
Wednesdays: 6PM at Suntree Campus: Starting March 4
Wednesdays: 7PM at Melbourne Beach Campus:
Starting March 4
ASH WEDNESDAY OPPORTUNITIES
Ash Wednesday (February 26) is a time to reflect on our
relationship with God and a time to return to God. We
will once again offer a unique Ash Wednesday
experience to the community by providing a “drive-up”
opportunity to receive ashes and a prayer at both
campuses. Suntree Campus: 7- 9AM and 4:30 - 6:30PM.
Melbourne Beach Campus 7 - 9AM. We will also have
Ash Wednesday worship services at 1PM and 7PM at
both campuses which include the imposition of ashes
and Holy Communion.
AUDREY’S CLEANING CREW
One of our Confirmation Students, Audrey Baudek, is
currently working on a community service project
through Central Middle School for the Genesis House.
Genesis House has been a part of our community for
more than 40 years providing a safe and supportive
environment for homeless women and their children
needing emergency shelter, student mothers with
children needing long term housing as they complete
their education, and shelter for pregnant women. The
Melbourne Beach Campus is a direct ministry partner
with the Genesis House. Audrey is collecting cleaning
supply donations at services February 22/23. Please
consider bringing a donation such as glass, toilet bowl,
all purpose, and tile/grout cleaners; dish soap; laundry
detergent; anti-bacterial wipes; furniture polish;
sponges or anything else to make a house a clean
home. Boxes to collect donations will be in the church
lobbies.
WELCOME, VISITORS!
We are glad you are here! Let us know how we may
serve you. There are Connection Cards located in
the pew pockets in front of you. Please use these
Connection Cards to share/update contact
information, to submit a prayer request, or if you
would like a pastor to contact you. Place the
Connection Card in the offering plate as it goes by.
For further information on any notices you read here,
please speak with one of our Pastors or check at the
Welcome Center. We hope you will worship with us
again!
VIALS OF LIFE PROGRAM
The Brevard County Fire Rescue offers a program
called Vial of Life to citizens of Brevard County.
When 911 is called, time is crucial. In many instances
patients are unable to remember or communicate
information that is critical to providing appropriate
care. A “Vial of Life” speaks for them. The Vial allows
individuals to have their vital medical information
such as medication, medical history, allergies and
emergency contact information readily available for
first responders. The Vial is ideally stored on the top
shelf in the refrigerator. Vials of Life will be available
in the Lobby at Suntree on February 15/16 and
22/23. Stop by to pick one up and to ask any
questions or contact Wendy Poffenberger.
FOOD PANTRY
THANK YOU, to everyone who donated to the Pantry
at the Souper Bowl of Sharing! We raised $2,446.11
and collected many pounds of food. The food and
cash will be a big help in our mission to feed the
hungry. This week, Advent's Food Pantry served 22
families representing 77 individuals. We distributed
35 bags of food and saw 1 new family. Current
needs: pasta sauce, canned pasta (macaroni and
beef, spaghetti-o's, etc.)
COMMUNION MINISTRY
“Taste and see that the Lord is good.” The Advent
Communion Minister team is available at both of our
campuses to bring Holy Communion to members
and friends of Advent who are not able to attend
worship services. Please contact Lynda Herrman,
Pastors’ Assistant 321.317.0729 or Pastor Rick Funk
321.243.2606 if you are going to be in the hospital or
will be recuperating at home or at a facility.
