Event Website

Slow down and prepare for Christmas through prayer, Scripture, and reflection. Drawing on the words spoken by angels in the Bible, Walking with Angels invites us to consider how God’s good news meets us in everyday life. Through prayer walking, journalling, and discussion questions, Sanderson encourages us to deepen our love for God, our neighbours, and ourselves as we journey through the four weeks of Advent.

December 5 @ 10 a.m.

The Ven. Maria Shepherdson warmly invites you into this time to rest, listen, and gently prepare your heart for the coming Light.

May this time of waiting open space for hope, peace, joy, and love.  Advent welcomes us into a season of holy anticipation.  On this seasonal day together, you will be invited to slow down, notice the quiet work of God, and make room in your heart for the coming of Christ.  Let this day be a gift to you — a chance to breathe, to listen, and to be renewed.
