For Christmas

Christmas can be a time of fairy lights and festivities, or a time of loneliness and loss. For most people, it’s somewhere in between. Bring life in your community, church and family this year, helping those who love Christmas, and those who don’t, feel part of the story.

Good News is Coming!

Good news is here! Discover the wonder of Christmas with Good News is Coming, our brand-new seasonal resource.

‍Thoughtfully designed as a fold-out series, this set includes six vibrant, eye-catching, and thought-provoking cards, each one highlighting a key moment in the Christmas story: Foretold, Birth, Wonder, Worship, Dream and Welcome.

This concertina-style resource unfolds into six connected panels, each one designed as a stand-alone card and perforated for easy separation.

Good News is Coming is ideal personal reflection, family use, church outreach, or gifting, and is a beautiful way to share the message of Christmas with your community.

This Christmas, we need your support as we continue to equip and empower people to bring life in their communities.

Help us to bring life this Christmas.

Little Book of Advent

What does Advent mean to you?

Little Book of Advent takes the reader on a journey of reflection and waiting, encouraging individuals, groups and congregations to engage with the season of Advent and what it means to wait and to look forwards to the arrival of the hope promised in the Bible.

Take yourself, your church or a small group on an Advent journey, using Little Book of Advent as a companion throughout December. Dwell in the themes of waiting, hope, preparing and arrival.

For creative ideas and inspiration, our downloadable guide, Join the Advent/ure is available to download free of charge.

Outside/In

The Christmas story is full of unlikely characters. Those on the edges are drawn to the heart of the action. Everyone is invited in. Why not show this Outside/In animation with BSL interpretation, or with Makaton interpretation, as part of your Christmas services or even as people are starting to gather together. The accompanying booklet was created to be accessible as possible, using a larger text size and verses from Biblica’s New International Reader’s Version. You could make it available to all those who visit your church over the Christmas period so they can take the story away with them, or gift them to your friends and family.

The True Light

Every year, the True Light comes to us in the hopes, dreams, and disappointments of our every day lives. Joy mixes with grief; rejoicing with exhaustion. Yet the Christmas story encourages us not to be afraid, but to rejoice in the glad tidings of The True Light that gives light to everyone.

You might not be “feeling it” this Christmas. You might look at the decorations and gifts, hear the music and laughter, and feel nothing. Your church might host groups for whom Christmas is just another day. Wherever the True Light finds you, and them, this Christmas, experience the story through scriptures that speak of moments in the Nativity Story where hope meets real life and be encouraged that whatever the situation, we are not to be afraid – the True Light is coming!

You can find some accompanying animations on our YouTube channel that help to bring the story alive in the midst of modern life.

There is also a downloadable pack of resources to help you guide the children through the story through craft, song, service outlines and assemblies.
