to share HOPE magazine this Christmas 
How do you start a conversation about Jesus at Christmas? Our Hope for All magazine gives lots of opportunities. With footballer Marcus Rashford making headlines on and off the pitch and Dan Walker having been in Strictly, the 32-page 10p magazine is a great springboard for a chat about what Christian celebrities believe, what you believe and why we celebrate Jesus’ birth. More than 200,000 copies have already been ordered – the last order date for Christmas is less than two weeks away, so place your order today.

Welcome to this month's e-news from HOPE. The news might not be good in the world with the new variant of Covid, but we have good news to share this Christmas, the birth of a rescuer.

More people than ever need to hear that hope this Christmas, so whether carol services are inside or outside, let’s share our hope – his name is Jesus.

Our magazines, Mark’s Gospel or Jesus to the Rescue can help you do this.

"She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

Matthew 1:21 NIV

Well, what else do we expect? It’s Christmas soon and so it’s the season to share the gospel with everyone and that includes kids!

Our newest resource in addition to the book is the Jesus to The Rescue animation. The song is available now to watch over on YouTube and to listen to on our website. These are great resources to engage toddlers simply and in a fun way around the gospel.

Check out the animation

The latest Talking Toddlers webinar is now ready to view!  Watch to find out how to make the most of Christmas in the last term of the year as well as including the nativity in your under 5s setting and looking forward to 2022.

Listen to the conversation

We’re really thinking about the next generation and their big challenge - wellness.
Young people are facing a big recovery after months of restrictions and challenges. We want them to build new mental health resilience in 2022 and the church has a role and an opportunity to pastor and strengthen people. Run a Wellbeing Journey coursebuy Your Wellbeing Journey booklets for your church or setting, and encourage your young people to go on the Youth & Schools Wellbeing Journey. Based on Jesus' teachings, it can really change lives.

People often think Christmas is about the children. Fancy getting your toddler group involved in a Christmas sing a long about the true meaning?  Check out our song online for something to inject a little light hearted fun and faith into your sessions. We have new resource updates

We are grateful to be on this journey with you.
