Communion Brought To You
If you or someone you love is unable to come to church, please let Canterbury bring Holy Communion to you. More than just a ritual, Communion is a reminder of our eternal connection to God's love, grace, and peace - no matter where we may be.
Let us share the consecrated elements with you
at your home, hospital, or extended care facility. Whether it's just for a one-time visit or for one Sunday afternoon each month of the year, please let us know if we can help.
For additional information, contact
Joan Lauterbach at 205-370-5239 or

First Things First
Summer Is Here!
Canterbury's many ministries for outreach, worship, and learning stay in full swing throughout the summer -- and they all need funding. So please help keep the church's financial house in order this summer by continuing to pay your pledge commitment. Or better yet ... consider prepaying your giving plan BEFORE you head off for the surf, the lake, or the mountains.
Have a great, slowed-down summer. And please, put FIRST THINGS FIRST!
