Know of a cause that needs help from willing hearts and hands?
Let us know about it and we’ll see what we can do to help.
For generations, the people of Advent have continuously served people in communities near and far in a variety of ways.
Some of our missions:
- Sponsoring a missionary in Africa for the past 20 years.
- Recently, members came to the aid of a family from Liberia brought here to safety to start a better life.
- Members embarked on trips to devastated Katrina hurricane areas to rehabilitate damaged homes, taking time to offer prayerful encouragement and support to families.
- Closer to home, Advent work crews have hammered, built and painted, transforming sheet rock into new homes for appreciative people needing a lift.
- Providing support to numerous causes of Lutheran Charities at home and abroad.
- Supporting World Hunger Appeal.
- Collecting and distributing goods for local food banks and clothing drives.
- Providing Thanksgiving dinners for those in need.
- Providing transportation for people needing a ride.
- Assembling and distributing care packages.
- Leading the Prayer Chain.
- Collecting and distributing gifts for families and individuals in need through through the annual Christmas giving tree.
- Our Busy Hands group uses its creativity and talents to make handmade items for our homebound, newly baptized, our altar, and much more.

... and much more. |
