Gifted: Christmas 2025

This Advent and Christmas season, the Methodist Church invites you to join ‘Gifted’ with resources to support your worship, welcome, and witness – including service outlines, small group materials, outreach ideas, posters, postcards, digital assets and more.

Gifted is a message of good news to a weary world...

Together, all districts, circuits, local churches and fellowships of the Methodist Church are invited to remind people of their inherent worth and beauty – not because of what they’ve done, or what they can give – but because of who they are.

Gifted:

  • is for everyone in our churches and beyond: both believers rejoicing at God’s gift of Jesus, and those who might find the season more wearying than wonderful.
  • reaches out to people longing for transformation but feeling stuck. For those searching for something more, something real – but unsure where to look.

Gifted is the Methodist Church's open invitation, speaking the good news to people that they matter. That they are Beloved. Created with infinite care. A gift to the world, just as they are.

Be part of Gifted: In your worship, your welcome and your witness.

How can your church can get involved?

This Christmas, we’re encouraging churches to share the good news of Gifted – and embody it!

Christmas Tree-04

Embody the good news of Gifted

Think about how your own church community already is, and can be, a gift to the people around you.

What do your neighbours most need this season – and how might you offer it, with generosity and grace?

You can:

  • Write thank you cards to unaffiliated people in your community, declaring “you are a gift because…”
    • We've created cards just for this purpose. See the resources list below to order.
  • Offer your church and its activities as the gift. That might mean lots of things you already do:
    • Creating warm, welcoming spaces where people can simply be – with no expectations.
    • Offering food, music, storytelling, or silence – gifts of presence and beauty.
    • Making space in your services for vulnerability, for doubt, for grief as well as joy.

The most powerful part of Gifted will be the way we live it out, locally and lovingly.

 

More resources are available from the Methodist Church website.
