All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Timothy 3:16-17
Education
Advent offers opportunities for life-long growth in the knowledge and love of God to all. From our Godly Play program for our youngest parishioners to weekly adult Bible study, Advent offers a variety of programs for seekers of all ages and stages in one’s spiritual journey. Please contact the church office at 610-444-4624 for information on joining any of these programs:
Preschool –2nd grade: Godly Play
Our youngest parishioners start building a strong faith foundation with the sacred stories and language of our faith. Advent helps parents nurture the spiritual development of their children by providing. The weekly Godly Play video is available on Advent's YouTube page or call the office to sign up to have the video emailed to you. Borrow Godly Play materials to work with at home by calling to office to arrange a time to visit.
3rd grade – 6th grade: Bible Study and Fellowship
Older elementary age children are ready to build on their faith foundation and expand their knowledge of our faith, the Bible and the Episcopal church. This great group of kids meets once a month LIVE in Fellowship Hall from 10-11am. Our goal is for the kids to come, connect with their church friends, have lots of fun, and spend some time learning about how much God loves them. Upcoming meeting dates are April 11th and May 16th.

6th grade – 12th grade: God, Church & Me
Youth are growing up in challenging times. They are ready to start developing a more mature faith that will sustain and guide them through the teen years and into adulthood. This program not only prepares youth for confirmation, but also equips youth for a faithful adult life. This group meets twice monthly 10:15-11:00 via Zoom. Upcoming dates are 4/11 and 4/25. All are welcome to join as we explore God, Church & Me. Join Zoom Meeting
