It’s almost clichéd how easily we can slip away from the real meaning of Christmas, as much as we may hate to confess it. A new spin on the Christmas story can catch our attention back to the real reason. Here are some of our resource suggestions to keep you focused and having fun this advent.
Paperless Christmas and Natwivity are back by popular demand. Paperless Christmas is an innovative series of nine videos, dramatizing the nativity story as you’ve never seen it before (unless you caught up with the Wise Bikers and angelic postal workers last year!). Another new spin on the old story is Natwivity: follow Mary, Joseph, Herod and more as they tweet their thoughts in the days leading up to Jesus’ birth.
There are also resources for your church services. Scripture Union have developed a free all-age service plan, complete with videos and Bible talks. Another family interaction for services is the latest music video from Friends and Heroes, ‘He chose the shepherds’.
Or maybe you’re feeling creative and want to put your own spin on the Christmas story this year. With The Nativity Factor, you can contribute your own short-film interpretation. Prizes of up to £5,000 are up for grabs.
