Methodists spread Christmas cheer with pocket booklet

|PIC1|The Methodist Church hopes to spread some festive cheer with the latest in its hugely popular series of inspirational pocket-sized booklets.

Christmas in Your Pocket draws together Bible verses, images, prayers and reflections on the Christmas season and includes words of inspiration from Mother Teresa, Benjamin Franklin and Bob Hope.

Joy Fisher, Series Editor, said; “This is a pocket-sized reminder that Christmas starts with Christ and finds its home in us. Christmas is for everyone - it’s a time of miracles, hope, expectation, excitement and the most precious gift that anyone can receive.”

The booklet is suitable for personal or group reflection, but churches are also being encouraged to share the Christmas spirit with their communities by giving the booklets away.

The whole range of In Your Pocket booklets (also including Prayer in Your Pocket and Hope in Your Pocket), are available from Methodist Publishing at £5 for 50 copies. They can be purchased online HERE
