A Hopeful Advent

Join with us this Advent as we choose to wait together with hope. 

Our hope is in the small, ordinary miracles of love and justice in the face of so much that is wrong. Hope that extends us beyond optimism to a deep, embedded, visionary hope – a belief that despite all that changes, we will not fall apart. 

It is our longing that your hope will be re-energised through the following Advent events and activities with the Iona Community.

Advent activities

You’ll find the event and registration information for the Christmas Eve Watchnight Service available below.Event recordings are also available to below.

While there’s no charge for individual events, we warmly invite you to make a one-time donation to support the complete range of Advent events hosted by the Iona Community, if you’re able. Thank you.


Advocacy for Advent

How do we anticipate the ancient wonders of Christmas without ignoring the realities of life and death in the occupied Palestinian territory and Lebanon? You’ll find videos, liturgies and campaign actions in our new resource: Advocacy for Advent
