The deadline for the Christmas Edition of Saints Alive is
Monday, November 30, 2026
Our theme this edition is:
Christmas Music
Send in your recommendations for the best Christmas recordings (songs or albums).
What’s your favourite thing to listen to at Christmas? (Besides the All Saints Choir, of course!) This edition of Saints Alive will feature a compilation of recommended music from YOU, the parishioners of All Saints.
Fill out the forms available at the back of the church with the song or album and artist, or send it by email. If you’d like, you can also include a review of the music, even if it’s just a few words, so that others know why you love it.
Along with the printed list, a free playlist will be available with all the songs, on YouTube Music.
As always, we also accept submissions on any topic. There is no minimum length!
Some other prompts for this month:
Your favourite Christmas recipe (Cookies, sweet potatoes, steamed pudding?)
Christmas stories or photos, either recent or from long ago.
Your favourite poem or story (public domain or self-written!)
Pictures from All Saints events, changing of the seasons, or anything else that’s meaningful to you.
A scathing (or glowing!) response to an article in a previous edition of Saints Alive.
A drawing, painting, or other visual artwork that you’re proud of, or that speaks to you.
A review of a winter activity (Zoo Lights, perhaps?)
A puzzle, riddle, or game.
An exploration of the history and customs around the world of Advent Wreaths.
A movie, book, or podcast review or recommendation (it doesn’t have to be religious!)
Saints Alive is written for the people of All Saints, by the people of All Saints, so we need YOU to submit your very best (or at least pretty good) content for this edition.
Send it to office@allsaintswinnipeg.ca to be included in our quarterly magazine, by the parish, for the parish! We accept anything that we can print – pictures, stories, poems, puzzles, quips, quotes, scholarly articles, and, of course, jokes.
Got something to advertise? We have a classifieds section!
Note: some restrictions exist for legal and logisitical reasons - read the fine print for full details.
Send submissions to office@allsaintswinnipeg.ca, or drop them at the church office.
