What's New: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany 2025–26

In the first Advent Unwrapped Newsletter (subscribe for free) of the season, I wrote about how far it feels that we have strayed from the world God imagines* , and how grateful I am for the season of Advent, a time to dream of a better world, a time to expand our collective imaginations of what could be possible if we let Christ in…
(*a hymn in Then Let Us Sing #126 - aka "The Lion and Bear")

And not just any Christ, but an irresistible, loud, demanding, loveable, and relentless baby Christ. You cannot accept a baby into your life without being transformed, and for this, I say, “Thanks be to God.”

As always, we are here to support each other through this revolutionary dreaming process with tried-and-tested worship liturgies, practical tools, and inspirational resources, so that we can all dive deeper into the radical reason for the season.

New resources for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany:
•    The complete seasonal weekly services 
•    The complete seasonal prayers
•    The exploring section on Antisemitism and Supersessionism

Things you might want to bookmark:
•    Music for Black History Month (downloadable table of Canadian composers)
•    A service thanking disciples and volunteers
•    Thoughts on Theology: Eschatology in The United Church of Canada

Wishing you a wonderful fall season,
