The Light Shines in the Darkness

Resources for your church this Christmas


Around the world, countless people face injustice every day because of their faith, and the festive season can be a dangerous time for many of the people we work with. Together, we can make a difference by praying and taking action to help those who are targeted for their beliefs. 

Thank you for helping to raise awareness of those who are being targeted for their beliefs.

The Light Shines in the Darkness is a resource that has been specially designed for you to use in a carol or Christmas service. It includes Bible readings, prayers and ideas to help your church reflect and respond. You can use it in its entirety or in part.

With special thanks to Rev Philip Evans for writing the service guide.
