ADVENT IS HOSTING TWO EVENTS TO CELEBRATE OUR NATION'S 250TH. A 1776 STYLE WORSHIP SERVICES ON 6/28 AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET CLARA IN TIME OF WAR AUTHOR C.J. McGROARTY
Advent Lutheran Church's Community Book Club will host C.J. McGroarty on Tuesday, June 9th, from 11 AM to Noon to discuss her book. The author has noted a feeling that we need more women's stories about the American Revolution. We hear a great deal about our Founding Fathers and the plight of soldiers fighting in the field. But the role of women in holding the hearth and home together during this time of hardship and upheaval is underrepresented. Faced with the hardships of wartime, Clara Fletcher also confronts the choices she's made and the limits imposed on her as a woman. Having watched her husband ride off to war. She knew her life would change, but she never expected what would come next. The war has taken many things, but it has also brought hr something invaluable: a renewed sense of worth and a second chance at love. Advent is located on 1601 Green Lane, West Chester, PA, 19382.

ADVENT'S NARTHEX/RESTROOM TASK FORCE – BUILDING ON MEMBER FEEDBACK

The task force and our architect, Travis Crum, are working to transform shared priorities into practical, forward-looking options. We envision more functional space, improved, safer access to one or two single-use accessible restrooms, and a more welcoming, hospitable Narthex with a nearby kitchenette. We are considering everything from reimagining Advent's current footprint to an addition and possibly enhancing the nurture and invite part of our mission with more windows, visible from 352. Watch for updates. To join future task force meetings, Email [email protected]

Advent's council and Narthex/Restroom Task Force, led by Sue Kreno, recently contracted with Archer & Buchanan Architecture and Precision Geospatial Solutions to develop a plan to improve or expand our Narthex and to add restroom facilities closer to the sanctuary. Task force member Travis Crum, an architect, agreed to donate many hours of labor, hopefully resulting in a plan that can be taken to builders for bids and, if approved by the council, be considered by the congregation to see what is possible. His donation of labor greatly reduced the cost, making it affordable for Advent to dream with professional guidance. We hope to have a plan developed in weeks, rather than months or years. Congregational members attended brainstorming sessions last Sunday and have until 4/12 to complete a two Question Survey. What are the three most important wants to include in the plan for this space? What is your biggest concern?
