Advent Reflections and Compline with the National Cathedral
Wednesdays at 6pm CST
It’s that most wonderful time of the year – except when it’s not. Whether from the pandemic, the election or racial unrest, we’re all feeling a little depleted this holiday season. If you’re looking to recharge your spiritual batteries, join us on Wednesday evenings during Advent for ways we can all use to make room in our hearts for Christ at Christmas. We’ll end each meditation with a brief service of Compline accompanied by music.

We make space for their responses and questions, and guide them in a prayerful engagement with the story.
