avenue church

a community to belong in… a community to serve with.

As Avenue Church studies the prayer that Jesus taught his followers to pray over this season of Lent, let us remember that Lord's Prayer is more than instruction - it's an invitation from Jesus to pray to his Father who is "Our Father". Therefore, I'd like to invite you to join me in praying the Lord's Prayer daily during this season of Lent. It could be the prayer you begin your day with as you anticipate what God is up to, or it could the prayer you close your day with as you reflect on what God has done. Or it could serve as both! The main thing is to pray this prayer, thoughtfully, attentively and consistently, allowing the Holy Spirit to direct your thoughts, recognizing the opportunity to pray each line more in depth as he guides you. Because we often pray alone but are never lonely in prayer, I invite you to let someone else know if you have taken up this prayer invitation so that you may encourage one another. Let's see what God has in store for us as we journey together with Jesus in prayer!

Lent 2019: Teach us to Pray - "Your Kingdom Come..." Last week, we learned how Jesus taught us to pray that God's name would be hallowed, be made ultimate in our lives and the lives of other. Why can we pray this? Because God is worthy - through Jesus Christ he is king of all the universe. As such, we can pray the next petition, "your kingdom come..." As we learn more about what God's kingdom is, we're going to discover that it's an "upside down kingdom" to the kingdoms of this earth; in fact it's a kingdom where the king of all hung on a cross. It's precisely because of Jesus' sacrifice and gift that we can also pray, "your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." Please join us this Sunday as we worship together as the family of God. All are welcome! Our gathering begins at 10 AM at the Parkdale Cromdale Community League (11335-85 St.)

Avenue Church Staff

Avenue Church came into being in response to God’s call to love our city of Edmonton. In particular it felt called to be rooted in the Alberta Avenue district.

Church, Why Bother?

Avenue Church recognizes that many people have been hurt by or have become disillusioned by the church. Many now question its relevance in our society. Avenue Church is imagining what the church could actually be like if we took Jesus at his word. As such, we are seeking to be a community to belong in and a community to serve with.
