This Month’s Video: Christmas

In her annual Christmas message, The United Church of Canada Moderator, Rev. Kimberly Heath, reflects on the surprising origin of the word "Bedlam" and how its meaning connects the original Nativity scene to the confusion of our modern world.

The story of the Prince of Peace being born into the chaos of Bethlehem teaches us that Christians do not run from the confusion. Instead, we are called to follow Jesus directly into it.

"We follow Jesus into it, seeking out the lost, welcoming the lonely, and setting a place at the table for everyone."

This Christmas, amidst fear, division, and uncertainty, the small things we do—as individuals and communities of faith—bring essential hope, peace, joy, and love.

Thank you for your support and partnership in the ministry of The United Church of Canada.

Grace and Peace,

The United Church of Canada Communications Team
