On behalf of Pastor Steve Johnston I would like to invite you to share this with anyone you know who is attending post-secondary education in the London, ON area.

They are proposing to start a student ministry program based out of Trinity Lutheran Church in London and they could use five minutes of your time.

They have developed a survey to help assess what the needs of Christian students might be while they are studying in London. They are asking you to please complete our survey on line – it is quite short.

Your answers will be useful to us even if you are no longer engaged in studies, or if you are not studying in London, or did not study in London in past. The survey is intended to gather what student’s spiritual and practical needs are that a church connection could help with.  They will only contact you about the survey if they need to follow up with questions about your answers and will not be using any gathered email addresses for other purposes.

Pastor Steve and the people of Trinity, London thank you for your consideration in this work and many blessings to you as you continue your studies, or new careers.

Rev Dr Peter John Hobbs, Director of Mission for the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa, and personal friend, has developed the attached “Advent Prayers for a Household” as a simple and adaptable spiritual practice, for use in homes, regardless of the size and form of the household.

It is designed to be used as is—simple for in the household on the go– or expanded with other resources or improvisation.  People are encouraged to add readings, activities, discussion topics that are meaningful to those in their household.

Please feel free to share and make use of this resource as you wish – with parishioners, friends, and family.  It is a wonderful way to experience Advent in a meaningful way.Advent Prayers for a Household printer
