Over the past several months, Palestinian chef and storyteller Izzeldin Bukhari has travelled across Canada, sharing Palestinian food, culture, and family stories with more than 2,000 people in United Churches and other communities. From British Columbia to Ottawa, Montreal, and Toronto, these gatherings have offered Canadians a chance to discover Palestinian traditions and the people behind the dishes.

This past Thanksgiving, Izzeldin Bukhari joined Moderator Kimberly Heath for a special edition of "Kitchen Conversations with the Moderator." Watch all the episodes: https://ow.ly/8zRQ5100A0k

In a new blog post, Bukhari reflects on the power of breaking bread together—and how sharing food can open doors to understanding, challenge stereotypes, and bring people closer across cultures and experiences. Each meal offers an opportunity to learn about Palestine through its hospitality, its heritage, and the stories passed down through generations.

“By knowing a bit about a people, you're able to do much,” Bukhari writes. "Maybe that little bit changes things."

Discover how food can help build connections and deepen understanding.

As news breaks of an emerging tragedy at the Canadian Forces Base and town of Wainwright, Alberta, we pray for all affected.

God bring your comfort
To the injured and the grieving
To the frightened and the traumatized
To those who are responding
To all who are lending their aid
God bring your healing
To a community in pain
May they feel the compassion of the country
this day and in the days ahead.
O God bring your comfort and healing.
Amen.

A prayer from the Rev. Marlene Britton for those affected by the tragedy in Wainwright remembering, particularly chaplains in their faithful service:

Loving God, we pray for all the people who have been affected by the tragedy at CFB Wainwright. We pray especially for chaplains who are on the ground and offering support in unimaginable situations. Compassionate God, may they be strengthened during this difficult time, and may they know that they are not alone, for we are praying for them.

As they have offered themselves in this particular service bless them in all their ways.

Amen.
