Advent at Canterbury

This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent, and begins a brand new Christian liturgical year. Scriptural passages from the Revised Common Lectionary start over again as we tell the story of Jesus' life and ministry throughout the year.

Join us this Sunday for Imagine Hope.
This time of year some of our deepest longings emerge within our hearts. Advent allows us time to pause, focus on the hopes we have for our lives and the world, and imagine the coming of Jesus Christ on whom all of our hopes rest and are realized.
