Worship with us this Christmas 

Christmas is a time for reflection and unity. It’s an opportunity for your church to come together in celebration, while making a meaningful impact.  

This season, we invite you to pray for families who’ve left everything behind to escape conflict, and to find ways to support them through our Christmas Appeal. 

Find all the resources you'll need (in English and Welsh) to prepare for your church service and collection. 

More ways your church can get involved this Christmas

Sign up to our digital Advent wreath

For each Sunday of Advent, as you light a candle on your Advent Wreath, we’ve produced a short reflection and a prayer from voices around world.  

These can be read out in your church service or used for your own personal reflection.
