Still savouring this beautiful communal experience! So grateful to all who were able to take part.

Calling all Communities of Faith in Chinook Winds and Pacific Mountain Regions! We are offering you a gift this Advent season, an Advent Small Group Study created by The Prayer Bench entitled 'Advent Longing '.

We hope this will be a gift for busy ministers and lay leaders in this Advent season who want a faith formation opportunity for their community of faith.

This Advent Small Group Study invites participants to nurture longing as a powerful spiritual gift through an imaginative pilgrimage in an old-growth forest. It encourages us to notice longing in our ordinary days, recognize its gifts during times of desolation and reclamation, and welcome “thin spaces”—those moments of connection, support, and hope. In the context of a planetary crisis, we explore how to activate Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love in the world God loves.

To get the link for this free resource, or for more information, as well as the zoom link for an introductory session, email Michelle at [email protected].

Calling all ministry personnel in Chinook Winds Region, United Church of Canada! We want to create space for you to connect with God, yourself, and one another. In the past few years, you have been asked to hold up your congregations, your communities, and your families through unprecedented times, and now it is time for you to spend a little time healing and connecting. It’s time to focus on nurturing you and your soul, rebuilding your connection with the Divine. So come and join us on this retreat and let's flourish together.
