Welcome...and what's a Canterbury?

Welcome to the website for Canterbury of Reno, a ministry of the Episcopal Church to college students and young adults in northern Nevada. We meet every week for dinner, socializing, discussion or study, and worship. All young adults ages 18-30 are welcome, and we're always looking for fun-loving people to expand our group and our horizons.

We meet every Monday evening at 7pm at Trinity Episcopal Church in downtown Reno. You'll find us upstairs in the parish hall, which is the building behind the church.

For more information you can call Karen Johanns, our chaplain. Her office phone and email can be found here. For an older person she's pretty good with the latest in communication technology, so chances are she'll get back to you pretty much right away.

Jesus fed the hungry, and so do we

Our meetings always start with dinner. It's hard to talk on an empty stomach, so there's always some food around. Sometimes it's a home-cooked meal and other times it's pizza, but you won't leave a Canterbury meeting hungry. You can even volunteer to bring dinner! Don't worry; we eat just about anything, but if you come to a meeting we'll tell you all about the Frozen Shrimp Incident.

Meet our chaplain

She's really OK for an older person.

It's almost Lent, but don't panic!

If you're like most Episcopal college students, you're probably wondering how in the world you're going to work on your spiritual life with all those papers, exams, and presentations. Don't worry! There's lots of options to fit any tight schedule!

Mondays at 7: Canterbury meetings during Lent will be devoted to Connect, an open-s0urce curriculum presented by the KLESIS Project. We'll be looking at how we function as a Eucharistic community and discussing material that will challenge us to deepen our relationship with God. In our usual meeting space in Trinity's parish hall.

Tuesdays at 6: Soup Supper and Study. Come to Trinity for a light dinner followed by a study of Groundwork, the Episcopal Church's Lenten series.

Wednesdays at 12:10: Deepen your prayer life by attending Holy Eucharist at this small, intimate liturgy. At Trinity's Bishop Lewis Chapel.

Monday-Friday, 7:30 am: Morning Prayer. Those looking for a little Lenten discipline may opt to rise early and head on over to Trinity for a simple Prayer Book service. Holy Communion will be distributed on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
