This Sunday,  August 1, is Servanthood Sunday. We are so grateful to be at this place – gathering together for worship in one service and resuming our ministries in a building that is being generously shared with us.  God is faithful, and He continues to advance His kingdom through the local church! Please pray this week about engaging more fully with the kingdom…

It’s time for the next big step forward in our Sunday journey. Beginning in July, we’ll simplify to one Sunday service indoors at 4pm (masks optional & seating open). The Livestream Video will continue to be available. That change will begin on Sunday, July 4, which means that June…

  Due to the probability of thunderstorms, we made a decision on Saturday to move our outdoor service indoors. So, that means we’ll gather INDOORS (masks optional) for ONE service at 4pm, with live video broadcast available.    

3pm Masks Expected:  Masks are expected, except when seated and listening. Social distancing is expected. We are using only every other row.  Capacity will be limited to 50% of available space. The 9-feet seat zone is available for those desiring more space. 5pm Masks Optional: Masks are optional after 4:45.  Seating will not be arranged for social distancing. FAQ: Are…

As we are adding the option of outdoor worship on Sunday afternoons, we want to remind you that will continue to offer a video for worship at home throughout 2020. Whichever option you choose for worship (online or in-person), beginning this Sunday, August 9, you will hear a message from the same passage of Scripture. In other words, you can participate in one or the…

1:45pm: Restroom update: We’ve received a question about the availability of restrooms. Good news: we are able to use the indoor restrooms at Advent. Our hosts request that we wear facemasks inside the building. We also recommend accompanying children and using the available sanitizing wipes to clean after each use. 9:30am: Quick update on Sunday morning about…

The guidelines below are designed so we can worship our great Redeemer together, in a wise, safe, and unified way. Our approach to these guidelines will lean on personal responsibility, mutual respect, and gospel unity.  Personal responsibility—because we count on individuals to make wise decisions Mutual respect—because we commit to considering the interests of others…

These guidelines are written to help us move forward in regathering with wisdom, safety, and unity as we prepare to gather for outdoor worship at Crossroads Christian Youth Center in Big Rock. Quick Reference Physical distance: Please maintain a distance of 6ft or more (estimate 2 arm lengths)…

As we look forward to the process of re-gathering, I wanted to write out a few steps for us to consider. (We have sent around a couple of videos which have a little more information on a few of these points; you can find them here and here.) A Few Things to Consider While re-gathering is our goal, it’s very important to remember that this is going to be a process. There’s…

Today is Good Friday—the day we remember the crucifixion of our Lord. We hope this day finds you with some time to sit at the foot of the cross and reflect on the death of Christ and its significance for you.  We look forward to doing that “together” tonight in our service at 7:00. After our service, we also want to point you to a recording of a Tenebrae service featuring…

He is risen! He is risen indeed! Though social isolation continues and we will not be gathering physically to celebrate Easter this Sunday, the most important thing about Easter (and every day) remains unchanged: the tomb IS empty. Christ HAS risen from the dead! This will be a unique Sunday, and our celebration will feel different. But in unique times, we also have…

In these unique days, families in our church have opportunities to spread smiles to seniors. Many of our senior neighbors and health-vulnerable neighbors have less contact with friends or loved ones than normal. Families in our church family can help spread smiles through delivering drawings, or Scripture verses, or handwritten notes to seniors around us. Perhaps there…
