In lieu of traditional choir concerts and kids events that normally fill the Christmas season at CKPC, we will be holding an outdoor pilgrimage event which you can participate in on Dec 20, 21 or 22 which is designed for all ages to enter into the meaning of the season.

We also invite you and encourage you to join us throughout Advent on this page to journey with us in preparation for the pilgrimage event and for Christmas itself. Each week will have blog posts, devotionals, family activities and spiritual practices for you to do together with your household, or on your own.
