Thoughts from Your Senior Warden

Our Stewardship Drive for 2019, ‘Transforming Generosity’, began

October 21. It was opened with a presentation by Elaine Lavallee who

spoke beautifully of Jesus’ parable about the widow and her two small

copper coins. It brings to light that we need to help those less fortunate

even when we have little to give. Our Parishioners are so willing to help

others which is evidenced by:

• Thanksgiving Food Drive for House of Hope and LAHIA Food

Bank

• LAHIA sandwiches prepared and delivered each month

• Citrus Elementary School Supply Drive in August and Hoodie

Drive in December

• School Supply Drive for children in Bondeau, Haiti

• Angel Tree for Guardian ad Litem to help children in the foster

system

Our church practices transformative generosity all year. Commitment

Sunday is November 18. I ask that you consider pledging and pledging

generously to support this Parish and its ministries. God continues to

bless this church family of faith and we look forward to what He has in

store for our future!

See you in church,

Nancy

Here are two ways you can help:

1. Donate a new, unused sweatshirt jacket (a hoodie) and put it in the

box in the Narthex…

It must be a full zip-front, a solid color, no printing, any child’s size

S, M, L, XL, & S Adult

You can make a monetary donation and we’ll shop for you.

*Please make checks payable to Church of the Advent noted for

Crystal Lake Elementary.

Our Annual Hoodie Drive Begins

For

Crystal Lake Elementary Students

Coordinated by the Missions & Outreach Ministry Team

Help Children in Need Stay Warm!

Of the 613 students at Crystal Lake Elementary School

just down the road from us, over 220 of them are economically disadvantaged.

Unfortunately, some children do not have a jacket of

any kind…thankfully most days in Florida a jacket is not necessary.

In Stuart and Palm City, it may surprise you to know that it is normal to have an

average of 60 days below 55º during the fall months. Therefore the school office

tries to keep a supply of sweatshirt jackets that zip up the front… (the kids call them

“hoodies”) that can be given to a needy student. Sadly the school budget doesn’t

provide money to allocate for hoodies…

Won’t you help keep a child warm this winter?

Help us share God’s love through a warm hoodie jacket

The Thanksgiving Food & Turkey Drive

Starting Oct. 28th, bring non-perishable food items to the

Thanksgiving Food Drive Collection Box located in the Narthex. Here are some suggested items of need: Canned goods, beans, rice,

bread, pasta, stuffing mix, canned pumpkin, juices, cereal, etc… Please designate any monetary donations with “Thanksgiving Food Drive” which will be used to purchase turkeys for families in need

Donations will be delivered to House of Hope & LAHIA

Make checks payable to Church of the Advent. Coordinated by the

Mission & Outreach Ministry Team
