Dear Fellow Givers,

Three words define Advent: A Giving Church. Here’s a partial list of ways we’ve been giving hope in our community this past year:

• We’ve fed the hungry through our donations to the Center for Food Action. And we’ve supported CFA in other ways – by filling backpacks, snack packs and Easter baskets for their youngest clients and by providing dozens and dozens of reusable shopping bags to replace the plastic they can no longer use.

• We’ve supported the ministry to the homeless at St Matthew Trinity in Hoboken and wrote letters supporting Lutheran Immigration and Refugee and Immigration Services priorities.

• With our Endowment, we’ve helped local families through the Wyckoff Love Fund and Wyckoff-based Families for Families, as well as Ukrainian families served by Lutheran World Relief.

• We continue to support the Bergen Volunteer Medical Initiative, which provides health care to people who can’t pay.

• Advent stood with our LGBTQ community by participating in the Mahwah Pride event. And we were one of a very few religious organizations to have a presence at Wyckoff Day.

In the community, we are known as A Giving Church. And no wonder - the words “serving together” are right there in our mission statement.

Now is the time to renew our commitment to the mission by making a pledge of support for the coming year. You can submit a statement of intent through the form below.

Yours in Giving,

Bill Whitney, President/Stewardship
