God With Us Stable This simple but colourful design captures the immediacy of the Christmas story.

It’s great to spend Christmas with family and friends, and while technology allows us to video call those who are far away, it’s no substitute for having them physically with us. The great message of Christmas is that God hasn’t stayed at a distance in human history, but chose to send his Son Jesus to be born as a baby, and live amongst the human race He created. Born not in a palace fit for a king but a dirty stable in a nowhere town. The implications for us and our lives on earth are huge! We’d love you to join us this year as we celebrate the birth of Jesus and the timeless Nativity story, and explore what it means for us to have God with us in our lives.

Peace on Earth Design ranges

The message of peace, the star and the stable are overlaid on a photo of the galaxies. What would you like for Christmas? For plenty of us, a little peace and quiet wouldn’t go amiss. In a world where tension and conflict can so often be upon us before we know it, we long for a little rest and tranquillity. The birth of Jesus was heralded by the angels with “peace on earth and goodwill to all people!” The Bible calls Jesus ‘the Prince of Peace’ and explains how his life and death brings forgiveness, hope and peace for all those who follow him. Want to know more? Join us this Christmas to sing some carols and hear more of the extraordinary good news of the Prince of Peace.

Joy World Colour Full of colour, this is about colour and life bursting through darkness.. Looking forward to Christmas? Invited to a party or two? Hosting family and friends yourself? It can be a great time of fun and celebration over the holiday season, but maybe our attention gets focused so much on the trappings – gifts, food, decorations and so on – we can miss the real joy at the heart of it. Why not join us at church this year and discover why the angels delivered a heavenly fanfare, and the difference the birth of Jesus makes to us today? We can’t promise trumpets – but you will be very welcome! The words are in the leaflet (MFDL) below, with space for your details.

Joy and Peace Design ranges

Beautifully hand drawn and in rich Christmas red, this is a powerful verse to proclaim. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if the best gifts you could possibly hope to receive this Christmas were in stock, and … absolutely free? Imagine if you were able not only to receive these gifts yourself, but share them with others too? Christmas would literally be life-changing. Forget those gadgets you soon tire of, the expensive cosmetics that run out and technology that goes out of date. What if the gifts you received lasted forever? A Christmas celebration with Jesus at the heart of it has at least two key elements: joy and peace. Joy as we see what the birth of Jesus means to us, and a deep peace that reassures us we are loved and belong to him. Come and sing carols with us that celebrate the joy and peace of Christmas – and the gift of Jesus himself.

Light in Darkness Pointing to John 1:4-5, this wash of colour celebrates the light of Christ.

Light in the DARKNESS

It’s that moment of anticipation: the tree is up, the decorations are on and the lights have been carefully arranged around its branches. The big switch-on moment has arrived, when we hope our work will be rewarded with a riot of colour and twinkling beauty.

JOHN 1:4-5

It doesn’t always happen, of course. Sometimes there’s a fault: a bulb has blown or maybe the lights just need replacing. Our best laid plans can go wrong. The great news of Christmas is that the birth of Jesus – called “the light of the world” in John’s gospel – signals hope. A new beginning when things seem dark and hopeless. We’d love you to join with us as we celebrate what it means to follow the light of Jesus this Christmas in an often dark world. The words are in the leaflet (MFDL) below, with space for your details.

A Beautiful Light Design ranges

By artist Jenny Hawke, illuminate your neighbourhood with this imagining of the angels’ light show. How often do you find yourself gasping at the heavenly light show we get for free, with our skies as the canvas? It could be that moment at dawn as the sun comes over the horizon, the glorious golds and ambers of a stunning sunset, or further afield the amazing emerald of the Northern Lights. Imagine then how it must have been for the Wise Men – or Magi, as the Bible calls them – travelling from the East following the star which was to lead them to the town and stable where Jesus was born. A sight in the heavens that was incredible – but nothing compared to the Christ child they would find on arrival. We celebrate the birth of Jesus – the light of the world – at Christmas. Why not join us on our journey with him? You’ll find a warm welcome! The words are in the leaflet (MFDL) below, with space for your details. Message Poster C5384MP

This design is best seen large, with a starry sky, golden cross and hand-painted Bethlehem with a focus on the hope of Christ. This was hugely popular in all its different formats last year. The sky is an actual photo of the Milky Way!

This stunning papercut of a nativity scene in festive red has angels over the stable, and extends with more detail in the poster and vertical hanging banner versions.

With options for your own text on the wood, these tasteful and calm candles will remind people of the words from the best-loved carol ‘Silent Night’. Words point not only to Christ the light of the world, but to the act of ‘pure love’ shown at Christmas in his birth.

Artist profile

Scott Joyce Illustrator An illustrator specialising in digital vector illustration, Scott’s work starts out in pencil which is then scanned to add bold colour to his ideas, designs or characters.

“I originally created my Colourful Crib illustration for a Christmas card that was sold through my church in Bath to help raise money for a school and nursery we support in Uganda. The design was also scaled up, painted by volunteers and displayed on our church tower. When I created my design I tried to simplify it’s design to a form which was not overcomplicated. I had this idea of injecting an explosion of colour into it, symbolising Jesus coming into the world and the effect he still has today! I have since created the Colourful Angel version for CPO.” You can see more of Scott’s work at www.scottjoyce.uk

Relatively few churches intentionally focus on reaching out to fathers, father figures and their children. BRF’s Who Let The Dads Out? aims to inspire, resource and support churches to develop initiatives that will give dads, father figures and their children the opportunity to spend time together, have fun and engage with the church. There is a growing collection of resources to support this at cpo.org. uk/wholetthedadsout. Find out more at wholetthedadsout.org.uk
