Agreed. People in all phases of life are still involved in serving, praying and more. Thanks for pointing this out.

Could stained glass still have a role in modern-day mission? There is much biblical truth to be found in stained glass windows for those who look with an enquiring mind.

Have young men lost their ‘herd immunity’ to Christianity? From goalscoring Premier League stars to nationalist marches, the religious gestures and symbols are adding to debate about a Gen Z ‘revival’

IN-DEPTH: Are young men losing their "herd immunity" to Christianity?

From Premier League footballers thanking God for goals to "Jesus is King" flags at nationalist rallies, is there really a religious revival under way among young men in Britain?:

Fair point, but it’s tens of thousands known to Parish Pump alone, and probably the tip of the iceberg.

Church magazines still reaching tens of thousands Local church magazines – printed on paper – are still reaching tens of thousands of readers, despite the massive impact of the web, social media and online communications.

Who knew that the humble church magazine, in print, is still reaching many tens of thousands? www.christiantoday.com/news/church-... @kayaburgess.bsky.social @churchofengland.org #CofEpeeps @revmichaelcoren.bsky.social

An extract from a vintage Ladybird book.

As Christmas approaches, here’s a lovely prayer from The Ladybird Book of Prayers through the Year, first published 1964. Compiled by Hilda Rostron with illustrations by Clive Uptton. A happy and blessed Christmas to all.

Why not celebrate this Christmas at a church near you? - St Albans Times All churches across the district will be welcoming newcomers, regulars, and visitors to join them in their celebrations. There is no need to book or plan ahead. Just turn up and take part.

Always good to see local media publicising Christmas Eve & Christmas Day services. stalbanstimes.co.uk/events/why-n... Thanks to @stalbanstimes.bsky.social #CofEpeeps @churchesengland.bsky.social

Yes, a neighbouring parish, and great initiative from them.

Thanks, Phil. Good to hear from you.

Rejoicing at Wembley | Bees United Christmas, it's important but not decisive .... according any to Arsene Wenger! Peter Crumpler disagrees. Christmas is good news, It’s a time for looking back and looking forward and it’s about hope

It’s a privilege to write this Christmas message for #BrentfordFC fans, recalling contrasting visits to Wembley. Hopefully it’ll resonate with all football supporters. www.beesunited.org.uk/news/rejoici... @thechurchmouse.bsky.social @beesunited.bsky.social @griffinpark.org @philtherev.bsky.social

Today’s Advent window saying it’s five days to Christmas.

December 14th window saying it’s Christmas Eve.

Something is seriously amiss with my @rbgkew.bsky.social Advent Calendar. On Sunday, it said it was Christmas Eve. Today, that Christmas is five days away. Kew a response?
