LOOKING FOR WAYS TO REACH children, young people and families this Advent and Christmas?

More information

The webinar shares details of our resources and will include a heart-warming retelling of the Christmas story – The Grumpy Owl and the Joy of Christmas. Illustrated by Jago, the award-winning illustrator of The Jesus Storybook Bible, it tells the story of Jesus’ birth through the eyes of an owl who seems determined to miss all the excitement. With accompanying resources, the book will be ideal to use at church or purchase as a gift.

All Church of England Christmas resources can be found here: Advent and Christmas theme: The Joy of Christmas | The Church of England

 Further activities related to the Grumpy Owl book, including the nativity play outline, will be available in October.
