 Lillian’s Church of the Advent online auction open thru Oct. 24

Over 100 items will be up for an online auction through Oct. 24 at 6 p.m. as part of the Church of the Advent BBQ & Blues Fest, which was cancelled this year due to Covid concerns. Funds raised from this annual auction provide for a variety of services that the church supports in Lillian and the surrounding area. Charitable organizations have received more than $25,000 over the last several years from this event. Scholarships are given to underprivileged children to live at Wilmer Hall Home for Children and for summer camps at Camp Beckwith & Camp Happy Sands, Lillian Volunteer Fire Dept., Lillian Community Park, Lillian Library, Elberta Middle School, Ecumenical Ministries and local food banks. The need is great so generous bids are greatly appreciated.
The Episcopal Church of the Advent is a small congregation in Lillian that provides an opportunity for worship, fellowship, spiritual growth and community service all for the love of God. Since opening its doors for worship in 2004, Advent has served the communities from Lillian to Perdido Beach, to Josephine and Innerarity Point. Every Sunday we celebrate Christ’s abundant love and grace. Services are also available on our YouTube Channel, or on Facebook. All are welcome!
