Now is typically the time when churches are deep in Christmas preparation - organising nativities, rehearsing for the carol concerts and dropping leaflets through parishioners doors.

Not this year. 

While recent vaccine breakthroughs have given us all fresh hope - life won't snap back to normal any time soon. In fact, things will probably never be the same again. 

For some of us, that may mean a time of mourning. For others, a time of great excitement. But for all of us, it means yet more change. 

And change is never easy. 

We want to help your church as you seek to serve your community within this ever-changing world.

Since March, we've been recording regular webinars with experts who are helping churches address the many, varied and ever-changing needs of their communities. 

Those webinars and the accompanying notes are all available on our website right now to help you as you prepare for the next phase of your Covid recovery. 

They offer really practical insight, advice and resources that your church can put into action right now. 

While it's often said that change is the only certainty - we take great comfort from knowing that our God remains steadfast. With our eyes on Him, we can press forward without fear. 

"The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." Psalm 18:2.
