Introduction

How does your church make the most of Christmas? Be inspired as you read through this catalogue of ideas. Wouldn’t it be great if every home received a Christmas card from their local church? Did you know 51% of people say the birth of Jesus is irrelevant to their Christmas? Yet Tearfund research a few years back showed that up to three million more people would go to church – if they were invited.

“ We joined together with all the churches in our area to send out a joint card with the details of all our services inside. It sent out a powerful message about church unity.”

Don’t just dress the tree… dress the church! What you’ll need for inside and outside may be very different. • What’s your message? • A welcome to a service? • A reminder of the true meaning of Christmas? See pages 6-8 for ideas.

Say “you’re welcome”… How best to invite your friends and neighbours to Christmas events? There are cards and invitations here of many shapes and sizes which you overprint with your own words, either at home, online – or we’ll do it for you. We also have invitations, leaflets and booklets to hand out with messages already printed inside. Whether it’s a carol service, midnight mass, a family service or Christingle, don’t assume your community know they’re welcome … Tell them! Which invite will you use this year? See page 9 for some ideas.

Introduction

Reminding people of the big story of baby Jesus, and what happened when he grew up. There are plenty of ways to do this: • Join with the Christmas Starts with Christ national campaign (www.christmasstartswithchrist.com). •U se ‘Christmas Starts’ stickers and labels on your cards, or T-shirts as you go carol singing and welcoming people to services. When people look for it online out of curiosity, they’ll find excellent resources. • Give out flyers and invitations, booklets, gifts, even balloons. • Make the most of Advent and New Year! (Pages 35 and 50). •P lenty more ideas of how to make the most of your services and stories of what other communities have done on page 46. Let’s be creative in our local outreach. Let’s surprise people this Christmas.

Customise your designs We have made as many designs as possible customisable, because we know you want to add your service details and website. We are constantly trying to improve our online overprint tool to make it simple to create a professional look.

Check: Your design has the Customise Icon next to it.

CPO sell noticeboards of all shapes and sizes too. Have you thought of an A-board on the street outside? Use it all year round! See page 47 (and look out for our new flag banners arriving for 2015).

Outside Your Church

Outside your church Where is your church? On a busy shopping street, at a traffic junction, in the heart of the village? Your building communicates ... so help it communicate with great power this Christmas.

What’s your message? Is it to welcome people to carols? To remind them of the Christmas story? Or simply to encourage them? Our banners come in all sizes and with multiple finishes and fastenings. They use striking art and simple words. The best posters grab attention and draw people in to the detail. Think about your message – and personalise it with your website or service details. If they use the same design as your invitations, even better! Design on page 27.

Inside Your Church

Designs on page 15.

Inside your church How do you decide the best size and style for your inside posters? Think about the layout and the sightlines of the building you use. Use our striking designs to add life and colour, and make sure they’re easy to see!

What? Hanging, roll-up banners or illuminated banners really make an impact.* And don’t forget to display all your invitations and flyers too.

Why?

See page 11

See page 40

Some will have a devotional use. Others challenge visitors on the real meaning of Christmas. Remind people about special services and events going into the New Year, and remember you can customise the designs.

How? Maybe choose a central design and see how you can echo that around the church in different ways. Our team are happy to help you locate the right products for maximum effect.

* Illuminated banners (plug them in and watch them glow) are available for the following designs: ‘Glory to God’ (page 10), ‘Peace on Earth’ (page 14) and ‘Silent Night’ (page 16).

Cards and invitations

You can do so much more with a card or invitation. You can even send us your own design, photo or picture, and we’ll print it up for you. You may want to think about including some of the following:

Which size?

• A greeting

• Details of regular activities

• Date, time, place of key events

• Information from other churches

• Contact details

• A prayer, poem, or scripture

*DL only available for the designs on pages 10-17.

•C ARD Available with or without envelopes. Versatile. Familiar. Stylish. • DL Folded A4 paper into three panels to make a fold-out leaflet with lots of space for text*.

Inside Your Church

Q: When is a card not just a card? A: When it contains a personalised invitation, useful local information and an inspiring Christian message!

• PAPER FOLDED LEAFLET Either A6 or A5. Good value. Can be inserted into cards.

We’ve written an optional message for you to use, pointing people to the true meaning of Christmas. This would go on the inside front – still leaving space for your words – and is available for designs on pages 10-17.

• DIY (Do It Yourself)

Card.

Where you see this icon, you can add your words on your home printer. All DIY products are A4 and are sold in packs of 10. There are three types: • Four invites per A4 (‘4 ups’: 4 postcard size invites, perforated) • Two invites per A4 (‘2 ups’: 2 postcard size, perforated) • One invite per A4 (A4 paper folded in half to A5 size) We’ve calculated the costs, and reckon that once you take into account the considerable time it can take to lay everything out, and the cost of ink, it may be more cost-effective to use our simplified online overprint service. Give us a call and let us know what you want. We’ll give you a price, and if you like, we can do the hard work for you.

The message inside the folder reads: You’d expect a King to be born in a royal palace. Surrounded by great luxury, the best medical attention, and no expense spared. Not a stable, surrounded by farm animals. You’d imagine the birth would be in a great city. Not a small town in the back of beyond. You’d think

the media would there. Not a bunch of startled shepherds. God’s ways are different to ours. Yet a chorus of angels sang “Glory to God”, as we sing in the carol Hark the Herald at Christmas. Come and discover why Jesus is a king like no other – we’d love to see you.

Maybe you love the parties, the food and drink, a nice break from work. Perhaps you love buying and receiving presents, sending cards, decorating the tree and the house, catching up with people. But amidst all the festivities

and traditions, shopping and cooking, what are you really hoping for? In a world full of conflict, most of us long for peace. Peace in our hearts and minds, stability in our relationships, and an end to war and hostility. Come to church this Christmas and find out why we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Prince of Peace – you’ll be very welcome.

Maybe the most common moment of wonder is the birth of a baby. New life brought into the world, an incredible miracle

of creation, a little person full of hope and potential. No wonder we say ‘Awww’. The well-loved carol Silent Night captures that stillness and awe at one of the most incredible moments in human history: the birth of Jesus, God’s Son.

Jenny Hawke Artist Christmas for me is a wonderful time of tradition and new interpretations. I love the standing donkey, watching silently as it perhaps senses the enormity of what is happening in the stable. The other donkey sleeps on, unaware, like the rest of the world, that creation’s history has forever changed.

The graffiti image re-interprets the ancient words of Isaiah describing the Messiah in a more accessible way. And our hope always is that whatever our church building looks like, there is a warm welcome inviting people in to experience Jesus. www.creativegrace.co.uk

WHEN people go to Christmas carol services they expect to enjoy the atmosphere, but Gerie Barber enjoyed an encounter with God.

Landlady and professional singer Gerie discovered that Jesus is for life, not just for Christmas, after a carol service in Lanzarote.

Gerie started a new life for the new millennium when she walked into the traditional service at a first-floor church above her pub in December 2000. She “just knew something had happened” that would ultimately change her and husband Ray – for ever!

By Ian White

they were hoping to have the church ready for a carol service that night, but that it was in a real mess. I went up to help them and, much to my amazement, we got it finished in time for the service. “We took up the invitation to attend the carol service and I was immediately struck by the welcome, which was sheer love at the door. You normally

get that warm, fuzzy feeling about Christmas and carols anyway, but here there was something else – something stirred in me.” Church members had already befriended the couple ever since their arrival on the island and had been praying for them. Early in 2001, Gerie and Ray accepted an invitation to a course exploring Christianity, and Gerie realised that the feeling she couldn’t explain at the carol service was God’s Holy Spirit. She experienced God again on the course, and she and Ray both became committed Christians.

Different

She added: “I’d been taken to church as a child, but I never had Bonkers a personal relationship with The couple had relocated to Jesus. People get romantic about Lanzarote in the Canary Islands Christmas and Jesus in a manger, in March 2000 to open a show but there was something differbar named Bonkers – but a year ent about that carol service that later friends and family felt was to change my life.” Gerie and Ray had themselves Bonkers eventually went bust, gone mad when they started but Gerie continued on the talking about their newly singing circuit, often including found faith. Christian songs in her act. She’s Gerie, 55, originnow also a worship leader at her ally from Widnes, church. Cheshire, recalls The former trampoline that life-changing coach joked: “You Raise Me carol service: “We did a Up is a particularly poiglot of work to get our nant song to sing as the bar ready for ChristLord raised me from my mas, while the church ground-floor pub to the upstairs was also being refurbished. first-floor church. I’m THE REAL JOY OF CHRISTMAS: Celebrating the birth of “Ray came down looking forward to the one day and said Christ led Gerie Barber to a personal relationship with him next level!”
