Bishop Dyck's Christmas Message

Posted: December 24 2019 at 09:19 AM

In her Christmas video message, Bishop Dyck reflects on the movie "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" that's about an investigative reporter who is skeptical about Mr. Rogers' good nature and looking to dig up some dirt. However, the reporter discovers a story about Mr. Rogers' empathy and kindness, which causes him to reflect on his own life. "Sometimes we are the reporter and we need someone to bring out the best in us. Sometimes we are Mr. Rogers and we need to bring out the best in others," said Bishop Dyck. "May the miracle of Christmas begin in you today!" Click below to watch and share.
