The Messiah had arrived. The angels visited, the shepherds came, and 02:05 the wise men bore gifts. And now, as Mary held Jesus in her arms, she held the Creator, the 02:14 Saviour, and our King. 02:22 Hold on now, I gotta take a deep breath; 02:24 I don't know what to say when I look in your eyes. 02:33 You made the world before I was born. 02:35 Here I am holding you in my arms tonight 02:44 Noël, noël, Jesus our Immanuel. 02:55 You're here, and I'm holding you so near. 03:05 I'm staring into the face of my saviour, king and creator. 03:14 You could've left us on our own, but you're here. 03:30 Don't know how long I'm gonna have you for 03:32 But I'll be watching when you change the world 03:41 I look at your hands, so still, so small, 03:43 But someday you're going to stretch them out and save us all. 03:52 Noël, noël, God with us Immanuel. 04:03 You're here, and I'm holding you so near. 04:13 I'm staring into the face of my saviour, king and creator. 04:22 You could've left us on our own, but you're here. 04:57 Someday I'm gonna look back on this, 05:00 The night that God became a baby boy. 05:09 Someday you're gonna go home again, 05:11 But you'll leave your spirit and flood the world with joy. 05:19 You'll be here, and I'm holding you so near. 05:29 I'm staring into the face of my saviour, king and creator. 05:38 You could've left us on our own, but you're here, you're here. 05:52 Hallelujah you're here 05:57 Hallelujah you're here 06:11 CHRIS: With his arrival, there was bound to be a change. He came to bring peace, yet turmoil 06:17 abounded. He came to save and to heal, yet there were so many lost and diseased. In the midst 06:25 of the restlessness of the day, amidst the problems of the day, the news of his birth spread. He 06:33 lived his life to change the world, and now, as we sing and hear the songs and bells of 06:40 Christmas, may our hearts be warmed by the peace that he brings. 06:50 I heard the bells on Christmas Day 06:55 Their old, familiar carols play, 07:02 And mild and sweet, their songs repeat 07:09 Of peace on earth, good-will to men! 07:16 And the bells were ringing! 07:19 [Peace on earth] 07:23 Like a choir they're singing: 07:25 [Peace on earth] 07:29 Does anybody hear them? 07:32 Peace on earth, goodill to men! 07:42 And in despair I bowed my head. 07:48 "There is no peace on earth," I said. 07:55 "For hate is strong and mocks the song 08:02 Of peace on earth, good-will to men!" 08:09 But those bells kept ringing! 08:11 [Peace on earth] 08:15 Like a choir, they're singing: 08:18 [Peace on earth] 08:22 Does anybody hear them? 08:24 Peace on earth, goodill to men! 08:38 Then rang the bells more loud and deep: 08:41 "God is not dead, nor does He sleep." 08:51 [Peace on earth, peace on earth] 08:52 The Wrong shall fail, the Right prevail, 08:54 With peace on earth, good-will to men. 09:08 Then singing, ringing on its way, 09:14 The earth revolves from night to day; 09:21 A chant, a chime, a voice sublime 09:27 Of peace on earth, goodill to men. 09:34 But those bells kept ringing! 09:37 [Peace on earth] 09:40 Like a choir, they're singing: 09:43 [Peace on earth] 09:47 Does anybody hear them? 09:51 Peace on earth, goodill to men! 10:03 Then rang the bells so loud and clear: "Peace on earth." 10:14 In my heart, I hear them: 10:16 [Peace on earth] 10:19 "Peace on earth, goodill to men!" 10:29 Peace on earth. 10:36 Peace on earth. 10:42 Peace on earth, goodill to men! 11:00 Hello, my name is Gary Hodder, I serve as president for the Adventist Church in Alberta and 11:06 on behalf of our members there, I want to wish each one of you a happy and joyous Christmas at 11:12 this time of year. 11:17 CHRIS: Who is Jesus to me? Who is Jesus to you? All that happens in this world and all 11:24 that goes on in this life today, there is one key to making sense of it all. One overarching 11:33 subject that will get us through another day. It is the story of Jesus, the story of his birth, 11:40 his life, and his death and sacrifice for us. You see, the story of Christmas is the story 11:49 of Jesus. But it's your story as well. The coming of Jesus is good news because he came to 11:57 save us. That is why Christmas, Christmastime is so wonderful. It's all about the story of 12:07 Jesus. 12:12 Tell me the story of Jesus; 12:20 Write on my heart every word. 12:27 Tell me the story most precious, 12:34 Sweetest that ever was heard. Tell how the angels in chorus 12:48 Sang as they welcomed His birth: 12:56 "Glory to God in the highest! 13:03 Peace and good tidings to earth." 13:11 Tell me the story of Jesus; 13:18 Write on my heart every word. 13:25 Tell me the story most precious, 13:33 Sweetest that ever was heard. 13:40 Tell of the cross where they nailed Him, 13:47 Writhing in anguish and in pain. 13:53 Tell of the grave where they laid Him; 14:03 Tell how He liveth again. 14:08 Love in that story so tender, 14:17 Clearer than ever I see; 14:23 Stay, let me weep while you whisper, 14:30 "Love paid the ransom for me." 14:38 Tell me the story of Jesus; 14:45 Write on my heart every word. 14:52 Tell me the story most precious, 14:59 Sweetest that ever was heard. 15:07 Sweetest that ever was heard. 15:14 Sweetest that ever was heard. 15:31 Sweetest story. 15:47 My name is Wesley Torres, president of the British Colombia Conference of 15:50 Seventh-Day-Adventists. On behalf of our over 11,000 members in British Colombia and 15:56 the Yukon, I'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year. 16:02 $$$$$$$$$$$$$ 16:04 CHRIS: His birth led to his death. His death was voluntary. He laid down his life so we 16:11 could live. The amazing statement of Romans 5:8 is this: 16:25 While we were yet sinners. Friend, it doesn't matter where you are in life, Jesus came to 16:34 bring to you real life and real happiness. His desire is that you would find peace in your 16:40 heart with him, that you would find peace in your life, even amidst the turmoil. 16:54 Let there be peace on earth 17:01 And let it begin with me. 17:09 Let there be peace on earth 17:15 The peace that was meant to be. 17:22 With God as our Father, 17:29 Family all are we. 17:36 Let me walk with my brother 17:42 In perfect harmony. 17:50 Let peace begin with me 17:55 Let this be the moment now. 18:02 With every step I take 18:08 Let this be my solemn vow. 18:15 To take each moment 18:18 And live each moment 18:21 With peace eternally. 18:28 Let there be peace on earth, 18:35 And let it begin with me. 18:48 Oh, to take each moment 18:58 And live each moment 19:01 In peace eternally 19:08 Let there be peace, 19:14 Let there be peace, 19:20 Let there be peace on earth 19:26 And let it begin with me. 19:34 Let peace begin with me. 20:00 CHRIS: My dear friends, amidst the tinsel, the trees, the gifts, the candy, and the 20:06 baking, I hope that you find true and real peace today. The reason for this season is Jesus 20:14 Christ and the story of him coming to this planet to save us. His one desire is that he 20:22 could be in a relationship with you. What holds you back today? Reach out. Grasp the hand of 20:31 Jesus, the one who was born in a stable, slept in a manger, lived a life helping others, and paid 20:40 the ultimate sacrifice, giving his life for you. He gave everything for you. Let's pray. 20:53 Heavenly Father, we thank you for Jesus, we thank you that he came to save us. Please help us 20:59 to accept that gift today. We pray in Jesus' name, amen. 21:36 Friends, the holiday season is a special time where we can come together as families and eat 21:42 together. And today I'm so happy to have both Darlene Blaney and Bev Edwardsaines here in the 21:51 kitchen with me. And they are going to demonstrate a couple of recipes to keep our holidays 21:56 tasty but healthy. So ladies, what are we demonstrating today? DARLENE: We're going to start 22:02 with a stuffed squash. CHRIS: Okay, that sounds kind of interesting. So what are we 22:06 going to do to make a stuffed squash? DARLENE: Well, first we've got to focus on our 22:09 stuffing. So we're going to actually begin with some fresh breadcrumbs. And we just want to 22:16 take whatever loaf, whole grain bread, and put it in your food processor, and blend that all up 22:22 into a nice, fine texture, and keep them fresh. You don't want to toast these at all. 22:27 CHRIS: All right, now, Bev, this is a whole grain bread. What kind of bread is this actually 22:32 that we're using today? BEV: I think this is the Silver Hills bread that we're using, and you 22:35 know, that's one of the lifestyle centres that we have in British Columbia. 22:39 CHRIS: Okay, and the Silver Hills bread is all whole grain bread, and one of the beauties 22:44 of the Silver Hills bread is, when you read the ingredients, it only takes you a couple of 22:48 seconds 'cause there are very few of them. BEV: That's right. CHRIS: So what else are we 22:51 putting in the stuffing there, Darlene? DARLENE: Okay, we're going to add some grains. We're 22:56 going to add a couple of cups' worth of your choice of grains. This can be kamut, it can be 23:00 rice, it can be whatever grain you like. So we're going to use some wild rice. And we're also 23:05 going to use some brown rice today. CHRIS: All right, now, what are some of the advantages, 23:09 Darlene, of wild rice? What is wild rice going to do for you? DARLENE: Well, basically, any of 23:14 our grains in general are going to be high in fibre. That's probably the biggest key when it 23:19 comes to whole grains. B vitamins. Chromium. Chromium balances blood sugars. So not 23:25 only does fibre balance, but also, the chromium and the B vitamins. BEV: Absolutely. What 23:31 do we have next? DARLENE: Excellent. Now, we want to add some colour to this so 23:35 we're going to actually put in some onion and some celery as well as some shredded carrot. 23:40 CHRIS: Okay. I like onions and celery. BEV: Good combination. Of course, the celery has 23:47 wonderful sodium in there, natural sodium, and the carrots, vitamin A and that shot of nice 23:53 colour there. DARLENE: That's correct. BEV: Perfect. DARLENE: Now, lots of different 23:56 textures going on here. Added to it, we're going to add some dry roasted almonds, slivered 24:03 almonds. So you want to dry roast these just at a low temperature on your own in your 24:07 oven at home. And then we're going to add our seasonings. Now, you can add a little bit of 24:11 sea salt. We can sprinkle that kind of evenly over it there. And poultry seasoning. Now, 24:18 poultry seasoning does not have any poultry in it; it's just well-known for stuffing poultry 24:23 or stuffing mixes. CHRIS: So I know it's going to have some of that sage in there and different 24:29 things like that that's going to give it that real kind of stuffing flavour. DARLENE: Very 24:33 much so. And in fact, you can use sage if you prefer; just use half the amount. And colour, 24:37 beautiful, dried cranberries. You can add fresh, you can use frozen, whatever you like. 24:43 CHRIS: Now, ladies, what's the advantage of eating some cranberries? BEV: Well, first of 24:48 all, it's nice and sweet. CHRIS: Okay, I like that. I always like sweet. 24:52 DARLENE: Yeah. And again, high fibre. CHRIS: Very good. And then are we going to add 24:59 anything else now? DARLENE: We are. We're going to add some water and a little bit of our 25:03 olive oil as well, about a third of a cup of olive oil, so we can just go ahead and put it on. 25:07 BEV: All righty. DARLENE: Sure, all over, and then a little bit of our olive oil as well, and we 25:11 just want to mix this up and then put it into a casserole dish, if you don't have one 25:16 already that you're mixing it in, and cover it and just bake it in the oven until it's nice 25:21 and soft. You're mainly going by the vegetables being nice and tender. CHRIS: Now, if someone 25:27 wanted to make this a little lower fat, they didn't want to put the olive oil in, can they 25:30 get away with doing that? DARLENE: They can, they can. You can just do a little bit more 25:33 water, yeah. The oil just kind of gives it a little bit different flavour, but also 25:38 allows it to brown a little bit. CHRIS: All right. Now, so we put this in the oven? DARLENE: We 25:43 do, bake it until soft. CHRIS: And then through the magic of television, we actually 25:46 have a finished stuffing here. And what are we going to do with that stuffing after we've baked 25:54 it in the oven, and how long are we going to bake it in the oven for? DARLENE: It could take 25:57 about 20 minutes, 10 minutes, give it a stir, another 10 minutes. Just watch that it 26:01 doesn't get too brown. So the vegetables, you just want a little crispness. CHRIS: Now, 26:06 ladies, I see that we do have a squash that we're about to stuff. What kind of squash do we 26:09 have there, Bev? BEV: Is this a spaghetti squash? DARLENE: It is. BEV: It certainly is. You 26:13 know, we've been farming this past year and we've got all kinds of squash. I know my 26:17 squash now, I tell ya. DARLENE: Spaghetti is a very mild flavour as well. But you 26:23 can use any kind of squash that you like. And we're just going to put in our stuffing. 26:28 CHRIS: Okay, so you could use your butternut, your buttercup squash. DARLENE: Absolutely. 26:30 CHRIS: You could even use a pumpkin if you wanted to, I would imagine? 26:33 DARLENE: Absolutely, yes, yes. If you want that brighter orange colour, more vitamin A. 26:36 Interesting, this type of squash, not as much vitamin A, but has omega 3s in it, which is 26:42 unique to this squash. CHRIS: Now, you know, Bev, while Darlene is putting the stuffing 26:48 in that squash, a lot of people say, "Oh, spaghetti squash tastes kind of plain." What are 26:53 some things you can do with spaghetti squash to help it, other than stuff it, that make 26:57 it maybe not so plain? BEV: Right, well you know, one of my favourite ways is to just 27:00 roast it with a little bit of olive oil and some garlic. We use a lot of garlic in my house. 27:06 It's so good for you. And just that easy recipe right there, just roasted, wonderful. 27:13 CHRIS: All right, so Darlene, we've got these stuffed. We're going to then take them and put 27:18 them back in the oven? DARLENE: Correct. I should mention, you want to kind of 27:21 bake your squash 'til it's pretty much done first, okay? And then, you know, put it here, 27:26 put in your stuffing. You can cover it if you wish, if you need to bake it a little bit 27:30 more. If it's pretty much baked, just warm it now in your oven. And heap that dressing up. 27:35 Garnish it, make it look beautiful. CHRIS: That is wonderful. Ladies, this is 27:39 looking delicious.
