Merry Christmas from Ministry Forum 2025
Thanks for being a part of the Ministry Forum community! For reading and engaging and responding to what we’ve shared over this past year. I love hearing from our audience. For one, it helps me to feel our mission tangibly for myself - I’m not alone! For another deeper reason, it means that we are connecting with the realities of today’s ministry leaders and learning from you as to what is important, needed, and resonating.
So thanks for that! I recently described this ministry as a labour of love and as I reflect on this past year I see and feel nothing but confirmation of that truth.
2026 is going to be epic for the Centre for Lifelong Learning! We are bursting with excitement as the weeks tick down like a child anticipating Christmas morn. But for now, we are in the season of waiting… it is a holy and sacred time. We will practice our breathing and embrace it as season of brief rest as we await the abundant blessing of a new year in Christ’s service.
May you find space for rest and rejuvenation in the midst of the busiest time of year!
From all of us at Ministry Forum (Lauren, Mike, Sara, Rosanne, Rosa and ME) may you have a Merry Christmas when it comes and a very happy and healthy New Year!
Peace on earth and good will to all creation,
Rev. John Borthwick
