We need your help to make this project a success! You can:
Pray
- for all those who find Advent and Christmas joyless or challenging
- for those who will visit the Advent Chapel, for volunteers providing hospitality
Volunteer
- to welcome visitors for a 3 hour shift on a Thursday or Friday (3pm-9pm) or Saturday or Sunday (noon-5pm)
- to help with set up (Nov 21-Dec 1) or take down (early January)
- to offer music, a workshop, art, devotional, meditations
A number of skilled and generous people have already committed to leading workshops, offering music, art, devotionals, and worship moments. If you have something to offer that you think would be a good fit, please let Rhonda know!

I’m in Newfoundland, so can’t really be involved. But I’m following your website and your Advent devotionals are adding a lot to my Christmas. For the first time in years, it feels like a season to celebrate and not just a season like any other season with only the tree and the gifts and the fancy dress parties to differentiate it.
Merry Christmas,
Janice
Thanks Janice! It’s wonderful to know that this site makes a difference to people. Many blessings in these final weeks of Advent!
