On February 8, we reflected on The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1–12) — not as gentle sayings, but as a radical moral framework for our time. Now, as we move further into February and continue observing Black History Month, that message feels even more urgent.

The holidays are a time for family, celebration, and connection — but they can also bring us face-to-face with our differences. Around the table, we may find people we love dearly but don’t always agree with. Politics, faith, life choices — these can all feel magnified when we’re together.

At Wydown United Church, we believe faith isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about staying curious, humble, and rooted in love — especially when it’s hard. That’s what open-minded faith looks like.
