Advent and Christmas at St Stephen

There are a number of ways that St Stephen's is preparing to enter into the mystery of Christmas. Join us for one, some, or all of our opportunities for study, reflection, prayer, and socializing.

Pastor Ruth has collected together some resources for you if you are interested in a daily reflection for each day of the Advent Season.

We are running a Daily Bible Reading Challenge. Using a daily lectionary we are attempting to read a passage of Scripture from the Hebrew Bible, the Psalms, the Gospels, and the Epistles each day during Advent. More information is available here.

Pastor Ruth shared one of her favourite Advent traditions in this post.

We are reading Barbara Brown Taylor's Learning to Walk in the Dark and there are two discussion groups - one on Monday evenings and one on Thursdays at noon. The groups will look at the same questions.

Please check our Events page for details on our Parish Christmas Lunch, our Community Christmas Meal, and our Christmas Eve and Christmas Day worship services.
