Get Ready for Advent Unwrapped!


Advent Unwrapped Logo

Get ready for Advent Unwrapped! We know it has been a rough fall (and possibly last year or two) filled with mixed expectations, mixed comfort levels and mixed feelings. It’s a lot to navigate. Sign up for the Advent Unwrapped Newsletter and enjoy content from revolutionaries from across the continent (from Kingston, Jamaica, to Washington, DC, to Summerland, BC.); the Go ProjectThe United Church of Christ; and the General Council 44 Youth Forum.

We look forward to sharing a collection of straightforward, invitational, shareable and mindful resources that will help us all engage in "the reason for the season." It all starts November 25, 2022!
