Week two of our Advent messages to you,  Olivia!

We know that this time of year is not always easy. The hustle and bustle, pressure to find perfect gifts or cook a Michelin-starred dinner take their toll on everyone. We rejoice in the knowledge that perfect peace comes from God. Thank you for joining us as we help to reveal the PEACE of knowing Jesus to the next generation.

Dave shares his thoughts on how God's PEACE is revealed to us and through us this Christmas.

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

Isaiah 9:6

We always love telling the stories of the churches, Faith Guides and projects you support. But these are often just snapshots of the day-to-day adventures that continue all year round. To celebrate the end of the year, we have picked a few of the stories we’ve featured to find out how things are going as the projects progress. 

It's thanks to your prayers and support that these projects continue to reach children and young people from the 95. 

You might remember the So, What’s Next resource we showcased earlier this year. A joint project between SU and with New Wine’s Luminosity youth team, specifically designed to help young people after they’ve responded to Jesus. Find out how this was received and what else the SU team got up to at the festival...

Let's pray this week…

'Lord, be with every child and young person struggling with their mental health this week, be their comfort and PEACE. Help us to find ways to reveal your PEACE into the lives of the people we meet each day.'

A gift for you!
