mercy ministry

Advent's Mercy Ministry exists to love our neighbors in need through practical resources, a community of love, and the heart of Jesus. We also partner with other DC churches twice a year to provide backpacks for kids at the beginning of the school year and winter coats in December. 

This initiative of Washington, D.C. churches focuses on working together to ensure the success of every child in foster care and those at risk of entering the child welfare system. As an initiative, DC127 and Advent believe we have a responsibility and call to mobilize our communities and congregations to care for some of the most vulnerable children in our city.
