TIME & DURATION: We are starting an hour later than usual, with a start time of 11:00am. Worship will be 60 minutes long. We have the venue rented for the entire day, and the staff has made grand plans for connection and fellowship to continue long after worship. Bring a picnic lunch, and plan to stay a while for the fun!
CHILD CARE: There will be a self-serve, outdoor, under-cover nursery zone for the littlest ones. There will be no children's programming during the liturgy. We will have activity bags and seating around tables available specially for families with young children. Parents will receive detailed information about post-worship fun for kids directly from Children's Ministry Coordinators, Kathryn Watkins and Sarah Pettit.
WEATHER: This is an open-air, outdoor venue, so check the weather report and dress accordingly. Our sanctuary area is under cover, and we will also have a ventilated greenhouse building to use in case of rain. Even so, plan on a mixture of open and under-cover activity and dress in layers like good Northwesterners!
COMMUNION & BAPTISMS: Yes, we will be having communion! Yes, we are able to do baptisms! Please let me know if you want to be baptized or have a child you want baptized. (My video early next week will explain details around communion in this venue.)
Feel free to email Fr. Aaron (aaron@advent.church) directly with any questions!
