Support Advent's Outreach

Advent Episcopal Church reaches out far beyond our immediate boundaries to help those in need.  It is very easy for Advent members to participate in these outreach efforts.  By taking a few minutes to set up an account at Amazon.com, a certain percentage of the money you spend is donated directly to Advent.  The same is true with an account at escrip.com, where you may link your grocery club cards and credit cards to your escrip account. 

Visiting for the first time?

If you're curious about what a truly nurturing community of believers is like, then you should come to the Join Us section to find out how you can get involved. Join us!
