Advent Compline with Taizé
2025-12-14 21:00 - 22:00 (America/Edmonton) | Chapel
Join us for a service of Compline (Night Prayer) with Taizé singing at 9 pm on Sunday, December 14 in the Chapel. This quiet, contemplative service is a wonderful way to find peace amidst the busyness of the Advent season and the lead up to Christmas. If you have an instrument or you would like to use your voice to support the congregational singing, you are welcome to join us at 8:30 pm in the chapel to run through the music ahead of the service.

Movie Night
2025-12-16 19:00 - 22:00 | The Crypt
For a bit of Christmas fun, join us in watching The Bishop’s Wife, a lighthearted tale of an angel sent to help a troubled clergyman and his family. Starring Cary Grant, David Niven and Loretta Young, this sweet old film offers a post-war take on contemporary Christmas and the Anglican tradition. It was later remade as the Preacher’s Wife starring Denzel Washington and Whitney Houston, but this version is the original. The movie starts at 7:00 pm ~ bring snacks and soft drinks to share as you are able.

Longest Night Service
2025-12-21 19:00 - 20:30 | Southminster United Church
Did you know that December 21 is the longest night of the year? On this night, we hold a more contemplative Christmas service for anyone who needs to find some space for more challenging feelings in the Christmas season. Maybe you are on the journey of loss or grief, perhaps you are far from or estranged from those you love, perhaps you struggle with anxiety, depression, or loneliness, or perhaps it has been a particularly difficult year for you for other reasons. All are welcome at this service in which we seek to create space in which hope can reside for all who gather together. The service is shared by the local Anglican, United, and Lutheran Churches. This year it will be held at Southminster United Church, with the participation of clergy and volunteers from St. Augustine’s.
