Celebrate Advent With CDH
November 21, 2019
"Advent is a time of standing still, and yet making a pilgrimage. A pilgrimage in which we don’t use our feet. A pilgrimage in which we stand still and yet walk a thousand miles across the world…so let’s enter, you and I, into the pilgrimage that doesn’t take us from home. Ours is a journey of the spirit, which is a thousand times harder than a journey of the feet. Let us go. Come, Emmanuel, God with us, walk with us." - Catherine Doherty, Grace in Every Season
Advent is one of the best times of the year at CDH. We celebrate in many ways, including a Prayer Service, the Children’s Christmas Show, the Choir Christmas Dinner, the Christmas Concert, Reconciliation, and multiple service projects. There are also morning services every weekday. We hope you will join us in a prayerful Advent.
