Want another quantity? These are guide prices, but any specific quantity is available. The website will do this for you, or we can help over the phone. This is how we calculate the cost: A. Round down to the nearest quantity in this table (e.g. for 750 bookmarks, go to the price for 500), B. Divide that price by quantity to get the ‘unit cost’ (e.g. £70 ÷ 500 = 14p) C. Multiply the unit cost by the quantity you want (14p x 750 = £105) I have my own design – can you print it? Yes! Get in touch and let us know what you need. What about digital downloads? We can supply low-resolution images of customised designs, and also other designs depending on copyright restrictions. Contact us with any questions about your digital needs. Search online for PowerPoint templates available for some designs. Payment and Delivery: Postage and packing charges are as follows: Under £25: £3, £25-£49.99: £5, £50-£99.99: £6, £100+: £10. For orders over £10 you can pay by cheque, payable to Christian Publishing & Outreach Limited. Invoices can be requested for orders over £25. For charges outside mainland UK please contact us. Saturday delivery: £25. Most items are produced to order, so we will aim to deliver as soon as possible. 98% of our orders go out within five working days, and over half within two, but for some products like banners please allow for up to 10 days to avoid disappointment. Please note that images and prices in the catalogue are correct at time of going to press. Stay in touch to hear about new resources: www.cpo.org.uk/signup

Introduction

Our designs are available in many sizes and formats. Prices are on the flap (left). Look out for these icons as a handy guide:

Introduction

What would it take for every person to receive a Christmas card and invitation from their local church? Churches and Christians can bring the light of Christ to their local communities. Jesus is at the heart of Christmas – and this season is our chance to remind people of the meaning behind the familiar story.

This Christmas communicate warmth, welcome, wonder! Don’t assume people know they’re welcome. Tell them! See page 26 for ideas, and pages 22-25 for cards you could use.

Use, customize, display and give away the designs here, or upload your own design using our blank card templates (see page 27).

Consider doing something with other churches in your area, or using the ‘Christmas Starts with Christ’ campaign – see page 20. Be consistent from banners to service sheets, powerpoints to website – see ideas on page 12, 26, and throughout. If you customise a design we’ll email you the digital file for use in your magazine or website. 2

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Give us a call or find more products on the website.

Customise your designs We have listened to your feedback and made our online overprint system more flexible, added video tutorials, and reduced prices. You can now add logos onto the back of your invitations, or upload your own complete card design (see page 27).

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

Visit: www.cpo.org.uk and add your design to your shopping basket.

Click: The Customise Here Button and follow the instruction.

NEW: You can now upload your church logo, or a photo, drawing or design, onto cards, just look for this icon. See page 27.

Introduction

NEW: When you download or buy a customized product online, we will send them to you over email so you can use them in your powerpoint, magazine or website. We’ll also send you an image if you spend over £20 on one design.

Message Invitation Folder C4849MFDL

Use the words we’ve written for this design The leaflet above includes these words on the left hand side, with plenty of space for you to add your service details. Battling to keep your head above water in the Christmas rush? There’s always something to do: presents to buy, food to prepare, decorations to put up, cards to write. We can end up so stressed we miss the best news of all – that God’s Son Jesus came down to earth to bring us love, hope and peace. Born as a baby to an ordinary family, one of the names the Bible gives him is Emmanuel, which means ‘God with us’. Why not join us at one of our Christmas services to find out more about how you can know God with you, not just at Christmas, but every day of your life?

A Christmas Promise These words are in the leaflet (MFDL) below, with space for your details: Christmas is often a time of promises... “I promise to get you the toy everyone wants” “I promise I won’t work late on Christmas Eve” “I promise I’ll be nice to ALL the relatives!” Actually, a promise is right at the heart of the Christmas story – God’s promise to send His Son into the world. It affects every one of us, because it deals with what we need most – to be re‑connected with the God who created us. The good news of Christmas is that we can come back to God through Jesus – we can know his love, his peace and real hope for the future. Do join us at our services to discover that promise for yourself – it’s what you need most this Christmas!

Heavenly Hosts Classic

These words are in the leaflet (MFDL) below, with space for your details: These words are taken from one of the world’s most popular carols, Silent Night. Why is it so popular? Perhaps it’s the simple tune, originally written for just a guitar and voice in 1816. Or perhaps it’s because the words capture something of the awe and wonder of the birth of Jesus. “Son of God, love’s pure light”: simple words, but powerful too. The story of angels filling the sky and singing to shepherds endures through generations. When did you last sing Silent Night with others? It’s sure to feature at one of our services this Christmas. We’d love you to join us in our celebrations. Even if you don’t sing like an angel.

Christmas in Focus These words are in the leaflet (MFDL) below, with space for your details: How do you take your photos? Smartphones and cameras automatically give us focus. They make things sharp and clear, (sometimes too clear in a selfie!). If it was only that simple to find focus at Christmas! There’s so much to distract us that we end up thinking only about the stress and the trimmings and forget the real, simple and life-changing story which forms the centrepiece of it all. Join us this year to take a fresh look at the great news at the heart of the season: the birth of Jesus. We’d love to welcome you to our celebrations.

Jesus King of Kings Classic

These words are in the leaflet (MFDL) below, with space for your details: 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 be 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.

Use the words we’ve written for this design Let people know about your Christmas services by adding service details. The message inside the ‘MFDL’ leaflet reads: What are you looking for this Christmas? A relaxed time with family and friends? Parties, plenty of good food and drink – and that Christmas sparkle? Or something that doesn’t fade once all the presents have been opened, and the decorations are back in the loft again? Message Invitation Folder C4882MFDL

When the Magi followed the star to find the place where Jesus

had been born, they maybe expected a palace fit for a king, not a stable. Somewhere packed with important, powerful people rather than shepherds and animals. Come and join us this Christmas to celebrate one of the most exciting, surprised and life-changing stories in history. It’s still changing lives today...

Artist Profile Sally Cadogan writes: “As a freelance illustrator/artist, I love using the creativity that is given from our Creator, God. This picture is painted with ink and masking fluid. This makes the inks produce lovely saturated colours. I think it’s wonderful that God came first to the poor, undesirable shepherds and following on, much later, to the rich, generous and humble, wise men. To me this picture says “Jesus came for everyone, from all walks of life”.

Make the most of every opportunity – big and small! The detail in these is best seen as big as possible! Don’t worry if your noticeboards are an unusual size. We can print to measure. Just get in touch.

The Queen has quoted the words in ‘Hear the Angels’ (right) from the favourite carol ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’ in her Christmas speech. It’s a prayer which will get stuck in people’s heads as they remember the tune. And what a prayer!

HOPE – Not Such a Silent Night HOPE

In 2014 Silent Night carol events were held in more than 70 sports stadiums and 500 churches, community centres and pubs. Tearfund, HOPE and Sports Chaplaincy UK are working together again, so that sports clubs and churches bring communities together to celebrate Christmas. BBC radio teams behind Lancashire and Leicestershire ‘Sing Christmas’ campaigns are joining in. There will be a free souvenir programme to carol invites, with a foreword from TV adventurer Bear Grylls.

Crowds shining light into the darkness: that’s the picture here, made to publicise pub carol karaoke, or church carol service. It’s the cover for the carol sheet, a free souvenir programme with foreword from Bear Grylls – see www.singchristmas.org

Invites/Gifts

Invites 3 million people said in a survey sponsored by Tearfund that they would go to church if invited – and what time is better than Christmas? “Britishness” may make us reluctant to make the ask – but it may also mean people are reluctant to say no. A simple text message or email may be enough: “Carol service this Sunday – should be great – really hope you can come”. Even better, put something through a door or into someone’s hand:

He’s Born! C4860LIC A Christmas birth announcement: ‘Come and meet him!’. Card or postcard. Customisable.

Example 3

Make it personal! Upload a photo of your church, team, group or family (not necessarily wearing festive jumpers). See example 1.

Local people recognise your church building. Use a picture of your church, with optional snow! See example 2.

Take a photo, or scan in your own drawing or illustration to use with a festive border. See example 3.

Start from scratch and use your own complete design. Example 4 is last year’s card from St John’s in Hove, with a cartoon by local artist Lisa Holdcroft. If you know a graphic designer or artist, why not ask them if they can create something for you?

DIY

Whether it’s a picture of your church, a team, or even a child’s drawing, you can now create your own card with a Christian message.

Example 4

The small print: we recommend you use the largest size image you can find (300dpi if you’re scanning one in), and crop/edit/add any text to it before you upload. You are responsible for copyright of any uploaded image, which means you either need to own it, or have a license to use it in a personalised product from the owner (i.e. an image found on the internet, for example, should not be used in a printed product like this without obtaining the relevant permission!). CPO reserve the right to refuse any design not in keeping with our charitable objectives. If you are uploading a logo you may want to check it doesn’t have a white background, or use the space provided on the back of the card. The overprint cost is the same: £5 per side.

Real Christmas Story by Jenny Hawke, C4845MP *Frame not included.

The words shining from the star above say: “The star appeared and kings rejoiced. The shepherds saw and angels sang. A baby born to change the world. Hallelujah!” The words in each ray of light could even be a focus or part of a service or talk. The tree calligraphy by Isabelle McKaySmith, left, was our bestselling artistic Christmas card design last year. You could use it, or Jenny Hawke’s paintings above and left, as matching cards and posters. C4633MP

Artist profile

Grace Dalton Artist Grace writes: “Whilst looking after 2-year-olds (as a volunteer at New Wine), I felt an urge to draw them. I’ve since then drawn from some of the most beautiful photographs to be found on the internet, trying to capture some of God’s loveliest creations – faces, flowers and cute animals. As a biomedical sciences student, learning about the mind-boggling complexity of creation – the microscopic detail beyond the beautiful nature we see – continually strengthens my certainty of God.”

NEW! God on Earth C4853MP Drawn in pencil, the message says ‘Christmas Come to Life’..

NEW! Holy is His Name C4852MP Underneath the drawing are the words from the Magnificat: ‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour’..

NEW! Annunciation C4893MB By Joseph Field. Underneath the image of Mary at the annunciation it says: ‘The angel said, you will give birth to a son and you will call him Jesus. He will be great...’ Luke 1:30-32

Unto Us C4643MP

NEW! Angel C4863MP

Joseph Field (www.fieldfinearts.co.uk) painted these three beautiful pieces full of detail and classical references, such as the gorgeous fresco angel on the left.

Because young people are the future Did you know that 34% of 15-year-olds said last year that they had not read, seen or heard the nativity story? (according to YouGov findings from Bible Society research). 90% of adults attending church also attended as children – and 72% came to faith before age 20. Read more stats at theresource.org.uk.

Singer meets the Christ of Christmas

CAROL SERVICE ENCOUNTER

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.

They’ll discover some surprising things about God, about themselves and about Christmas. This page-turner is accessible for those who have never heard the gospel before, and gripping for those who think they have heard it all before. Ideal for giving away to friends and family as a gift, and cheap enough for churches to buy to give out at services this December. Why Pray? Z34 24BT Price: £4.99 (10) Why Pray? has been specially written by Rev Canon J.John to support the National Prayer Weekend. This 16-page booklet is a great introduction to a God who listens, guiding the reader through The Lord’s Prayer, breaking it down into 7 easy-to-follow phrases to explain more about why and how we can pray.
