Throughout the Season of Advent, the parish of Christ Church, Edmonton has invited all to “Come as You Are” and join in worship. Many special visitors came to church on Sunday, December 10 for an intergenerational service called “Everyone Upstairs,” specially tailored to the youngest members of the congregation (who routinely head downstairs for Sunday school). Jora the Moose shared a story about peas and PEACE, and then everyone welcomed Mary, her fiancé Joseph and cousin Elizabeth, who gave a miraculous performance about being surprised by God. After the play, the children were invited to gather around a kid-sized altar to help their rector, the Rev. Sue Oliver, prepare communion. Photos: Shannon Kerr
