The Lenten Outreach Project this year is to collect basic hygiene items to help the clients of
Growing Home, a local food bank. SNAP benefit amounts for impoverished families cannot be
used to purchase hygiene items making these items difficult for them to obtain.
From March 9th until April 13th, there will be collection bins located in the narthex. This is a
great way to help the less fortunate in our community!
​
Needed Items:
(all items should be full or family size)
Shampoo
Conditioner
Baby Wipes
Bar Soap
Body Wash
Feminine Hygiene
Toothpaste
Toothbrush
Lotion

Adult forum with Pastor Beth Graham continues this Sunday through Lent after worship and during coffee hour. The topic is reflections on the Lord’s Prayer. This will include small group discussions and a video presentation. The video presentation is by Dr. James Nestingen who was a Luther Seminary professor of church history. The video was made during churchwide assembly a number of years ago. He was the bible study leader for the assembly and he chose to focus on the Lord’s Prayer. Participants might find him to be wonderfully funny and amazingly profound at the same time. We hope you can participate as you are able during this series.
Radio Players Spring Performance
The Advent Radio Players will present "Our Miss Brooks - Mother's Day Millinery" and "Burns and Allen - Easter Hat War Council" radio plays on Sunday, March 30th at 2:00 pm in Advent's Sanctuary.
Donations are welcome.
