Like thousands of other cities across the country and the world, Canton is experiencing a moment of significant disruption, fear, and uncertainty in the midst of the spread of the coronavirus.
At all times, but especially right now, it’s vital that we turn our attention to expressions of faith, hope, and love as sources of light in our city. For light always overpowers and drives away darkness.
We mean for these conversations to be a source of encouragement, but also that they instigate still more expressions of faith, hope, and love throughout our community, among our neighborhoods, and in our homes!

Through the month of May, we’ll be sitting down with a variety of Canton’s civic, business, organizational, and spiritual leaders to have brief conversations around three questions:
In the midst of our present COVID-19 crisis, who and what inspires faith in you?
As you look to the future, what is your hope for our city? What would you hope the newspaper headlines would be?
As you look around in your organization and in our city, how are you seeing love expressed?

This past April, as we were just coming to grips with the broad implications of COVID-19, we got creative and took Easter to the streets of Canton.
100 cars, representing over 30 church communities, came together to create a caravan of worship and prayer around the 4 quadrants of Canton.
We now find ourselves in the season of Advent, a time in which we remember God’s faithfulness in coming to dwell among us, but also a time of looking ahead to when God will come again to bring the fullness of his kingdom!
Truly, we are walking through a particularly difficult and dark time of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Yet in celebrating the coming of Jesus Christ together, we acknowledge an even deeper truth - that the hope, peace, joy, and love of God are unshaken and available to us without limit!
