SUMMARY:High Schoolers + Parents
DESCRIPTION:Hallow Advent Mission – No room at the inn \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a meaningful Advent evening for high schoolers and their parents as we reflect on the theme No Room at the Inn. In the middle of busy homes\, crowded schedules\, and the many pressures of family life\, it is still possible to feel lonely\, overlooked\, or unseen. Mary and Joseph knew something of that experience as they searched for a place to stay\, yet even in the uncertainty\, God was present and at work. \n\n\n\nThis mission is an invitation to remember that God does not wait for everything in our lives to be perfect before He enters in. He comes right into the mess\, the stress\, the brokenness\, and the ordinary moments of family life. As we pray together this Advent\, we will reflect on how God is still good\, still present\, and still in control\, and how He desires to bring hope\, peace\, and healing to our families. \n\n\n\nCome and prepare your heart for Christmas through prayer\, reflection\, and an encounter with the Lord who always makes room for us.

SUMMARY:Young Adult Ministry Hallow Advent Mission
DESCRIPTION:Making Room for Jesus  \n\n\n\n\n\nWe live in a world where we are more connected than ever\, yet so many of us still feel lonely\, distracted\, and disconnected. Between work\, relationships\, social media\, and the busyness of everyday life\, it can be difficult to make room for what matters most: our relationship with Jesus. \n\n\n\nThis Advent\, join our Young Adult Ministry for a special Hallow Advent Mission as we reflect on how God calls us out of isolation and into communion with Him and one another. \n\n\n\nJust as there was no room at the inn\, we can find ourselves with little room in our hearts for Christ. Yet Jesus continues to seek us\, inviting us to slow down\, let go of distractions\, and discover the joy of authentic relationships rooted in Him. \n\n\n\nGod created us for communion\, not isolation. Come encounter His love\, find community\, and prepare your heart to welcome Him this Christmas. \n\n\n\nAll young adults are welcome!

SUMMARY:ENCOUNTER
DESCRIPTION:What if one invitation could change someone’s life? \n\n\n\n\n\nAn Advent Hallow Mission | Prepare the Way: Make Room for the King \n\n\n\nWhat if one invitation could change someone’s life? \n\n\n\nThis Advent\, join us for ENCOUNTER\, a special Hallow Advent Mission inspired by the Visitation of Mary and Elizabeth. Just as Mary brought the presence of Christ to Elizabeth\, we too are called to bring Jesus to others through faith\, friendship\, and a simple invitation. \n\n\n\nIn the busyness of life\, it’s easy to lose sight of what matters most. Advent invites us to slow down\, open our hearts\, and make room for the King who longs to dwell among us. \n\n\n\nThrough worship\, uplifting music\, and meaningful reflection\, we’ll prepare our hearts to encounter Christ and rediscover the joy of belonging to a faith-filled community. \n\n\n\nNo matter where you are on your faith journey\, you belong here. Whether you’re deeply rooted in your faith\, searching for something more\, or simply curious\, this evening is for you. \n\n\n\nAnd don’t come alone! Think of someone who needs hope\, friendship\, or an encounter with God’s love. Be like Mary. Step out in faith\, extend an invitation\, and bring Christ to someone who needs Him. \n\n\n\nA social reception will follow. \n\n\n\nThis special Advent Mission also marks the beginning of ENCOUNTER\, a new Saints Simon and Jude tradition held on the first Thursday of every month\, bringing people together for worship\, music\, reflection on topics that matter most\, and authentic community. \n\n\n\nEncounter Jesus. Find Community. You Belong at SSJ.
