Welcome to Adve


Welcome to Advent

Thursdays, December 5th and December 12th
1:30 - 3pm ET online

During Advent, many of us practice annual rhythms and traditions as we await the arrival of Jesus at Christmas. Despite our best efforts, Advent and Christmas can often feel overwhelming, busy and rushed. We want to offer you a gift in this season - the gift of a slowed-down place (at least for an hour or so).

Carve out time for prayer, stillness and silence on Thursday, December 5th and December 12th. Join this Advent Learning Centre space where, together with friends, we'll enter into a time of prayer, silence, and other spiritual practices to make room for what is to come. We will offer a mix of ancient and modern prayer practices and postures to slow down and pay attention to the Spirit in our midst. Come be refreshed - come and "be" this Advent season.

Learning Centre sessions are recorded and made available afterwards for those who sign up but cannot attend in person
