"Soul Keeping"
Sermon Series Concludes
Worship with us this Sunday as we complete our church-wide study on
Soul Keeping. This series deals with getting ourselves equipped to tend to our interior lives. "We have been doing something almost countercultural as we have looked at our lives that are so easily overwhelmed," says Rev. Drew Clayton. We encourage you to dive even deeper into this subject through John Ortberg's book "Soul Keeping" available in the Adult Resource Center or at most major booksellers.

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.

College Ministries
At Canterbury we strive to provide a "church home" for college students in our area, as well as continue to nurture our own students that have grown up here and are away at school. The easiest way to communicate with students is through email and cell phones so that no matter where they are, they can feel their "church home" reaching out to them. We want to keep in touch and reach out to them during this important time in their lives. If you have a child who is away at college or know of a young person who attends college in our area, please contact Brian Ward at brian.ward@canterburyumc.org or 972-213-6951.
