On 11 December, the children and youth from Christchurch North Methodist Parish led a Christmas service at the Chapel Street Centre.
The theme was ‘Joyful Giving’ and we explored how we can give joyfully; spreading love and hope this Christmas.
We focussed on the Christian World Service appeal, raising awareness and support for climate action and access to clean water. We were also grateful for donations towards our Support A Family appeal and the child our parish sponsors through World Vision.
Our young people were generous in sharing their time, gifts and talents to spread the joy of Christmas too. Highlights were our brass ensemble, a sister act singing ‘Silent Night’, and some talented young poets. We’re fairly sure we’re the only church in Aotearoa to have a resident ventriloquist-donkey act!
We also had the premiere of our 2022 Christmas short-film, which you can watch on YouTube at:
