The Parish of the Valley's Advent Appeal is our annual Parish-wide stewardship initiative to support our local congregations and the various ministries they graciously provide. The Parish of the Valley’s Advent Appeal is now entering its sixth year. Together over these last five years we have raised $85,000 to support the many and varied ministries of our local congregations right across the Valley. 

By now, you should have received your Advent Appeal letter in the mail. Please prayerfully consider how you might be able to support the ministry of your local Anglican Church this holiday season, as together we continue in the work of living out God's mission on earth. Whether it be in Messy Church, in the making and serving of food, in offering pastoral care to one another, in keeping the lights lit in our churches and their doors for worship -- our local churches and our Parish are stronger when we come together in God’s presence to magnify God’s love and joy in our lives. 

You can download this year's Advent Appeal package electronically, or give to the Advent Appeal online, by clicking on the link below.

Thank you for your generous and faithful support of the Parish of the Valley Advent Appeal.

Join the Church of St. John the Evangelist, Eganville for the annual Celebration of Light Evensong on the First Sunday of Advent: Sunday, November 30th at 3pm. All members of our parish are warmly invited to join in this traditional sung Anglican service of evening prayer, including special prayers of remembrance.

This Advent, step out of the hustle and bustle and into a quiet space for a time of evening prayer, Taizé music and candlelit worship.

Beginning Wednesday, November 26th and continuing for four weeks in Advent, we will be offering a quiet service of Advent Taizé. The services will be November 26, December 3, 10, and 17 at 4pm at Holy Trinity Pembroke, and will be simultaneously live-streamed for those who would prefer to join in from home. The services will also remain available online afterwards for those who would like to enjoy them at a different time of day. You'll find the live-stream by clicking here.

Join us for Messy Church!

Families of all shapes and sizes and ages are invited to join in after school on Friday, December 5th at St. George's South Alice (2968 Doran Road, Laurentian Valley). Families are welcome to arrive anytime after 4pm, for a 4:30pm start.

We will have music, Advent activities, crafts, and end with a delicious meal.

Bring your curiosity and wiggles, and join in the fun as we gather together from across the Parish of the Valley
