News and upcoming events

'Share the wonder of Christmas' worship resources

We're excited to let you know that our Christmas worship resources are now available. This year's theme ‘Share the wonder of Christmas’, helps us reflect on the amazing Christmas story while thinking about the children and families in our communities who find this season difficult. It has an all-age outline and some Christmas-themed children’s activities.

You can view them here.

Be a Secret Santa for a vulnerable child

Christmas is a time of hope and light, when we celebrate the birth of Christ and the promise of peace on earth.

For many of us, those memories begin in childhood. But for too many children across the UK, Christmas brings no warmth, no joy, and no celebration. No stockings. No presents. Sometimes, not even a hot meal. But your gift could help change that.

Become a Secret Santa for a vulnerable child today by visiting Iamsanta.org.uk/hope.

We also have a festive fundraising pack with ideas to help you and your church plan activities to get your community involved.
