Christmas & Advent
Join us for this holy time of year as we prepare to welcome Christ into our world. Throughout the seasons of Advent and Christmas, we hold a variety of programs and special services, including Community Carol Sings, a Longest Night service on the Winter Solstice, to a traditional Christmas Eve Candlelight Service on Christmas Eve. You can learn more about all our upcoming events and programs below and find instructions on how you can participate onsite or online.
As a part of our Christmas preparations and celebrations, we are collecting items on our giving tree for Directions Youth Services. Warm toques and socks are always needed. In addition, we’ve covered the giving tree with tags of other items that Directions Youth Services needs this winter season to support the at-risk youth that they serve in Vancouver.
