He's on his way

He's on His way is a Christmas campaign from the Diocese of Liverpool.  They say:

Research has revealed that 85 per cent of people agree with the statement that “Christmas should be called Christmas because we are still a Christian country”. However, it also shows that only 12 per cent of adults know the facts of the Christmas story in any detail.

This is the problem in our society.  So many people simply do not know the Christmas Story.  Just published a couple of days ago, a survey commissioned by the Children’s Society, stated that only 10% of those responding to the survey, considered Jesus as being the most important aspect of Christmas! For those aged between 25 & 34 the figure was only 4%! Sadly no figures were available for under 25′s.  What does Christmas mean to young people?

These videos along with posters are an attempt to grab the attention of ordinary people ~ young and old ~ many of whom will come to our churches this Christmas time because they feel it is important and want to connect somehow, with a deeper meaning to the season.  The challenge for all of us as Christians is to re-tell the Christmas story; re-connect with the true meaning of Christmas.  Maybe these resources will help.  They will only do so if we use them!  Visit the site www.merseychristmas.co.uk.  Tell the story to your friends, neighbours & family!
