Blessed to have a great music team and tech team to be able to sing our worship songs (at home) while joining in the Sunday 10.30am service via YouTube ! This was one of the worship songs today : youtu.be/7wRoZUaHkyc

Thank you Aidan for your message today. “The world does need a thinking Church 🤔 !” And that’s us #christchurchdownend

#Christmas is not cancelled after all! Jesus has been born & placed in the manger. The shepherds & wise men have gathered & you can see them at Christ Church #Downend Download a Trail map to find all the figures in the shops as well facebook.com/events/6745947… @downendvoice @teggster

Mary and Joseph are disappointed to hear that the innkeeper has no vacancies... which shop in Downend made room for them instead?? Follow our Christmas Trail to find out! Download a map here facebook.com/events/6745947… @teggster

The shepherds got quite a shock when they saw the angel - you might be surprised to see them here in Downend. Perhaps they got lost on the way, and called in to this shop to buy a cozy blanket for the baby... download a Trail map to find them! facebook.com/events/6745947…

Wise men have been spotted ! Wearing the latest fashions. Are they on Downend High Street in a bank ? Got any gold with them? @downendvoice

These wise men know where best to invest their money: maybe they just picked up some cash to buy these expensive gifts for the new born King... where in Downend are they? Download a Trail map here and go follow the star too...facebook.com/events/6745947…

Mary and Joseph are wondering how much further to Bethlehem - thankfully our Christmas Trail is only around the #Downend high street shops & across to Christ Church, so you don't need a donkey to get you there Download a map and get searching... facebook.com/events/6745947…

Gotta love the donkey inside Melanie's Kitchen. Who would have thought they could fit a donkey inside ! Find the #nativity folk in our shops in Downend trail ! And the stable is in the Church. QR codes with each of the characters give you a mini 1min film clip to see too.

The story of the King Jesus born unto us at this special time of the year written into this beautiful song: "Noel" by Chris Tomlin & Lauren Daigle. With thanks to Sam Ewins, Joe Porter and Jonners Peterson. Filming by James from Action Visuals. youtu.be/BIGnSf3_j2o

Hope is a person, and Hope has come close to us. #christchurchdownend
