Giving Down in October - Expenses exceeded income by a little more than $4,000 in October. While it is normal for there to be some month-to-month fluctuation, we do want to make sure that this shortfall does not become chronic. We are doing a good job as a congregation in managing our expenses; we all need to be diligent in our giving as well, remembering that our weekly and monthly offerings are vital to Advent’s ability to fulfill our mission and ministry to our congregation, our community, and beyond.

Reminder: Holiday Opportunities for Service - Don’t forget the many opportunities for service during the Christmas season, all of which allow us to reach out to others in our community and beyond. Look for details of these opportunities via displays in the Narthex and announcements in the weekly bulletins.
- Live Nativity: December 6
- Mitten Tree: Caps and mittens will be donated to middle-school children. Decorate this special tree between November 29 and December 18
- Bath Soap: Donate money to purchase bars of soap for inmates at the Pickaway Correctional Facility. Our goal: enough money to purchase 200 bars of soap.
