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

In the first Advent Unwrapped Newsletter 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…

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,
