The Message Trust

The Message Trust has decided that it will no longer be using X as a social media platform to post on. You can still get all our latest news and updates by following us on Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.

At the Message HQ, over 800 Community Grocery members and local residents joined us in Manchester for our annual Christmas Extravaganza. As the good news of Jesus was shared, we saw 191 people respond and accept Jesus. 🙌

Christmas isn't found in the tinsel, the toys or the chaos crammed into a box. It's found in the gift left outside, unwrapped. Three nails, a crown and a cross. A King who walks with and brings light to the broken. This is Christmas in a nutshell. This is Christmas in a box.

Merry Christmas from The Message Trust 🌟 Today we celebrate the greatest gift of all: Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us. Thank you for standing with us as we share His love and good news with people all over the world May your Christmas be filled with joy, peace and hope!
