Plan now to take part in a worldwide Advent service at 4:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Central Time USA on 12 December, presented on the Community of Christ Facebook page or YouTube channel in English, French, or Spanish. 

Participants can share worship responses in real time in a live chat. German- and Dutch-speaking members and friends can join in worship as part of a live Zoom event with the European church; German speakers can contact online@gemeinschaft-christi.de for details.

“The People Walk” is a communal opportunity for examination, reflection, and challenge as we consider the Advent journeys of Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, the Magi, and all of creation…and our call as we walk our own Advent journey. 

The church’s global diversity will be seen in reflections on "Hope" from Rashmirekha Mallick of India, "Love" from Humberto Rosario of the Dominican Republic, "Joy" from Nicolas Lethanh of New Caledonia, and "Peace" from Apostle Barbara Carter of the USA.

The First Presidency will open and close the service, and President Steve Veazey will offer a moving Advent prayer. A worldwide choir will celebrate the season in song, and Organist-in-residence Jan Kraybill will play the prelude and postlude and unite us in singing our faith.
