Christmas

12 ideas for Christmas More to life has developed a number of related but individual ideas to help Churches be effective in their evangelism over the Christmas period. Consider how you might make the greatest impact in reaching your neighbourhood by following the theme ‘More to Life’ and working that out in practice throughout some or all your events/services etc.

7. Invite Viz-A-Viz to present A ‘live’ multimedia event featuring Envizage Theatre Company.

Presented by evangelist Mike Simmonds this event features, video, music, theatre and clear communication of the Christmas message in a non-threatening context. Click here for more details.

8. Use the More to Life DVD at the end of an event/service At the end of Carol services and Christmas events.

The simplest idea used by thousands of churches over the past few years. Make the DVD a quality offer to all who attend any event at your church.

9. Use the ‘More to Life’ publicity, banners etc. Use CPO publicity to impact the community with the theme.

Plan a co-ordinated campaign making maximum impact for publicising all your events including posters, banners and invitations., Watch this space for more information.

10.Equip Christians to introduce people in the workplace to Christ Provide ‘brief’ training on the use of the ‘More to Life’.

DVD downloadable here. The work place is where most people are in contact with non-Christians. Many don’t know how or are not motivated to share their faith. More to Life, using the DVD, provides a simple but effective way that is less embarrassing. There is not time to work through the full More to Life downloadable training sessions on this site but using Session 2 ‘The Four Story Approach’, (page 6 onwards) will provide an insight in how to begin.

11.Use the More to Life downloadable Christmas resources.

In addition to these 12 Ideas, the More to Life Christmas Resources include a song, drama sketch and sermon outline. Using these materials will help develop the theme. Click here for details and to download.

12.Develop a ‘More to Life’ campaign throughout Christmas Publicity, themes, songs, preaching, drama, DVD and stories.

You may have already picked one or two ideas. For maximum impact it is advisable to develop a strategy where all your ideas work together to present a common theme, printed and projected look and are built around a logo. None of this replaces the need for God to work and for prayerful preparation and sharing of the Christmas message, but they will help. By taking advantage of the resources Viz-A-Viz Ministries is making available on this web site you are able to use the More to Life theme and therefore the logo. All that is asked is that you make sure your church is aware of the link with Viz-A-Viz Ministries, (although credit is not necessary at evangelistic events). Please also give feedback and do not use the logo in other contexts (at other times of the year) without first obtaining permission from ideas@mtlresources.org.

You can download the More to Life logo in various formats: PSD format (zip file) or EPS format (zip file) or JPG format (zip file).
