Watch the heart-warming Church of England Christmas Film
The film follows one person through life’s journey – with a powerful invitation to everyone to come together to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
After two years in which the festive season was marked for many by loneliness and uncertainty because of Covid-19, churches across England are fully open and inviting people to join services and other events throughout Advent and Christmas.
The moving film follows the story of a woman who is supported by her local church through many Christmases over the course of her life – from first appearing in a nativity play as a child to growing up, marrying, seeing her own children grow up, facing bereavement and beyond.
It ends in a simple message: “Wherever you are on life’s journey, you’re invited to church this Christmas.”
The advert is part of the Church of England’s Christmas campaign: “Follow the Star – the Great Invitation”.
The campaign is geared towards people who might not normally – or ever – attend church. Read more about this story on the Church of England website here
