Christmas: Celebration or Survival?
This new pack was written by women for women, women of all ages, in different circumstances, but with one thing in common; they somehow feel let down by Christmas. The sessions in this pack begin early enough in the year for decisions to be made together about any change they might want to make but allowing space to reflect after Christmas on the stories and, if appropriate, to support each other through the grey days of the early New Year.

More Than Just Tinsel
Assemblies for Advent and Christmas for Secondary Schools
The build up to Christmas is a manic time of the year. It is so busy that we hardly have time to be still, quiet and reflect. These assemblies offer some of that reflective space – where young folk can articulate something of the spiritual in their lives; where they may be challenged on issues of justice in the world; a space where they can seek out and search for answers to those ultimate questions of life.
