By: The Church of England
  • Summary

  • In this series we run through the resources available to churches for 2022’s Christmas campaign, Follow the Star: The Great Invitation, as well as general tips and tricks on how to use digital media this Advent and Christmas. Following a series of difficult Christmases, churches across the Church of England are hoping that 2022 offers a chance to welcome people back to services and events that haven’t been possible recently. You can use this podcast, the Digital Labs blog and the Church of England website to discover resources to invite your community back to church this Christmas. Digital Labs is a hub of resources, news and events to support digital evangelism and digital discipleship in your church, from the Church of England.
