Each Spring, Advent UMC hosts Spring Fling at a local park or on our church grounds. Families bring blankets, chairs, and lots of food and treats to share an afternoon of fun and fellowship. Burgers are served with side dishes and drinks. Children of all ages enjoy playing organized activities and games

This has been an annual event since the early years of Advent UMC. Each October, Advent UMC hosts Octoberfest on the grounds of the church. Families enjoy fellowship, and fun while listening to live music during a BBQ lunch.

We gather for for dinner and have an opportunity to consider the coming year and what gift we might offer the Christ child. We will also share king’s cakes and learn how we’ve embraced that tradition as our own at Advent. Then we’ll journey together, following the light to the sanctuary for prayer and reminder of Jesus’ presence with us.
