Advent + Christmas
Christmas Concert & Singalong
SUN / DEC 8 at 4:30pm
It’s a time for all ages to gather to sing seasonal favourites, enjoy the talents of city musicians, and take in the good news of Christmas — that Christ was born! This year the Knox Choir will lead us alongside vocal ensemble EmBoddiement and pianist Eunjin Kim. In support of Scott Mission.
UPDATE: As of December 12, we’ve raised $5804 for the Scott Mission! Thank you for making our celebration joyful and for your generous hearts! May God bless you!
Advent Prayer & Devotion
Draw nearer to God this season. Focus or renew your daily prayer practice in Advent with our weekly devotional. Print copies available each Sunday at worship.
You can also also get the devotion by PDF by signing up for our weekly email.
Or pray along with a podcast at Apple Podcast or Soundclound.
Families: make sure to pick up a special Advent gift from Pr. Frances, too.
History is Waiting…
… and the arc of history bends towards Jesus. That's the meaning of Christmas. God's promises are fulfilled in the incarnation of his son, born in Bethlehem, to Mary, born to set his people free.
May his Kingdom come.
Worship at 11am
Dec 1 Genesis 12:1-9 | Dec 8 Isaiah 65:17-25 | Dec 15 John 1 | Dec 22 Luke 1:46-55
