Thank you to the Happy Helpers for hanging and removing the red streamers in the sanctuary for Pentecost!

Are you new to the Advent community? Have you been introduced as a New Face? If not, please join Pastor Matt in the conference room after worship on June 7th for an orientation about our congregation and our Lutheran identity. On June 14th we will be saying hello to those that are new during the service, we like to call it New Faces Sunday. And it happens to fall on the same Sunday as our semi-annual congregational meeting where we look at annual
reports, have elections, and any new business that we need to do.

Graduates, if you have not picked out your quilt please come to the church and do that before June 7th!

​Holy Trinity Sunday this Sunday, May 31.

What a wonderful celebration last Sunday! For 15 years we have been Advent in all of its different ministries and programs.
Thank you to Kevin for his special music and to our hospitality crew for setting up and executing a great potluck!

Remember to wear red this Sunday as it is Pentecost. As I said in worship last Sunday...."I may have something in crimson to wear."

Cheryl will not be in the office tomorrow, May 22nd. Also, the office and the child center will be closed on Monday, Memorial Day.

Here is a prayer from a Dominican website about Pentecost:

"Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. Amen."

Blessings,

Pastor Matt

Come and celebrate 15 years this Sunday! We have special guests, a video from Bishop Manlove, special music, anda good old fashioned Potluck planned! Bring the family and your favorite dish (or dessert!). There will be celebration cupcakes for everyone!

Sunday May 24th is Pentecost Sunday, remember to wear your red to church!

Thank you to Karen and Carol for planting flowers around our property, just in time for the anniversary!

If any of you were having trouble seeing the lines in our parking lot recently, worry no more! We have a new blacktop and the lines have been painted!

Today, May 14, is Ascension Day. In the Christian calendar today is the day that Jesus ascends to heaven, 40 days after Easter. Following the Gospel of Luke and Acts, the Apostles watch Jesus ascend into heaven and then go to the room in Jerusalem where they stay for another 10 days when another shocker happens....Pentecost (Fifty).

Tomorrow night is our "Come to Friday Dinner." We believe that faith comes to life when we care for the world we share—and that includes sharing a meal. Terry and crew are cooking meatloaf, rice, vegetable, and rolls. Stay and eat in the multi-purpose room or take a to-go box with you.

Come as you are, enjoy great company, and let us serve you. All are welcome!

On this National Day of Prayer, we take a moment to breathe. In the busyness of life in the Valley, it’s easy to feel like we’re operating on our own strength. But prayer reminds us that we are part of a Bigger Story.

Today, we lift up our neighbors, our leaders, and the "little guys" who look to us for hope. We pray for the world we share, asking for the grace to love more deeply and serve more faithfully.

Prayer isn't just about asking; it's about abiding. It's staying connected to the Source so we can bear fruit in our community.

Stay Connected. 🔌✨

In a world that tells us to be "self-made" and independent, Jesus offers a different rhythm: Abide.

"I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit." — John 15:5

To abide isn't about working harder or striving to be "perfect." It’s about staying attached to the Source. Just like the branches of a vine, we don't produce life on our own; we receive it by staying connected to the root. When we abide, the fruit of love, joy, and peace happens naturally.

The Week’s Reflection:
Sometimes growth requires the "art of the prune". Are there distractions or "noise-canceling" habits you need to trim away this week to make more room for what truly matters?

Love neighbor. Love earth.
When we stay rooted in grace, we have the energy to care for the world we share. Whether you are tending your own garden or supporting a neighbor in the Valley, remember that you aren't doing it alone—you are part of the Vine.
