The TRUTH About Advent | How YOU Can Prepare for Christmas 2024!
In this episode of the Pray Tell Podcast, Tyler and Trevor discuss how to prepare for Christmas 2024 by living into the season of Advent.
Drawing from their experiences as Anglicans attending St. Matthew's in Abbotsford BC, they explore how Advent is the season of rest and fasting that prepares us for the celebration of Christmas. The duo also share practical ways to embrace the season in daily life, from tuning in to your local Anglican parish to intentionally slowing down in a busy culture.
Tune in for insightful discussions on the significance of patterns, the church calendar, and how to meaningfully observe Advent.
And if you're in Abbotsford, we would love to see you on Sunday at 11am! Our address is...

// ABOUT ST. MATTHEW //
St. Matthew Anglican Church is a small Parish located in Abbotsford, BC.
Far too many people have experienced Christianity as constricting. But it doesn't have to be this way.
As a community rooted in the Anglican tradition, we believe church is all about exploring the grand mysteries of God. Like everything else in life - whether it's architecture, carpentry, music, or even worship - we believe it's through structure that we find the freedom to experience more!
Recognizing that everyone has a unique and challenging journey, we want to be a safe, inclusive and welcoming community that embraces transformation while also maintaining the best that tradition has to offer.
No matter where you are on your spiritual journey and in your relationship with God, you are welcome here.
