Is it too early to start talking about Christmas? 🎄👀 Rachel's getting into the festive spirit at Liberty London, and we're already thinking about how we can share the Christmas story this year! Our Gospel of Luke is a brilliant way to share the story of Jesus with friends, neighbours and your local community this Christmas. Whether you're planning carol services, community events or simply looking for something meaningful to give away, we've got you covered. 🎁 Find yours in the HOPE Together Christmas Shop! hopetogether.org.uk/Shop/Cat… #HopeTogether #ChristmasOutreach #GospelOfLuke #ShareHope

What a wonderful way to launch *Pip, Amos and the First Christmas*! 🐭🫏✨ We had such a lovely time celebrating the arrival of our brand-new children's book with our friends at The Salvation Army, who kindly hosted the launch. It was wonderful to see so many people coming together to celebrate this heartwarming retelling of the first Christmas, seen through the eyes of a curious little mouse and a rather grumpy donkey! Created to help families, churches and children's groups share the wonder of Christmas with little ones, *Pip, Amos and the First Christmas* is now available from the HOPE Together shop. 📖 A huge thank you to The Salvation Army Family Ministries team for hosting us and making the launch such a lovely occasion. And keep an eye out later this week for a little glimpse of what happened at the launch... let's just say there was some rather enthusiastic audience participation! 👀

Flight delayed? ✈️ Good thing Rachel packed a little HOPE! With an unexpected wait at the airport, Rachel had just the thing to keep everyone entertained – copies of our *Hope for All* Christmas magazine! And Hannah? She went straight for our brand-new children's book, *Pip, Amos and the First Christmas*! 🫏 Two brilliant resources to share the hope of Jesus this Christmas, with magazines starting at just 29p per copy. Who would you share a little HOPE with? hopetogether.org.uk/Shop/Cat… #HopeTogether #HopeForAll #ChristmasOutreach

What would happen if you invited your neighbours to a carol service outside your house? 🎄 When Andrew and Kim moved to Devon, they wanted to find ways to connect with their new neighbours and share their faith. They delivered HOPE magazines to around 60 homes, inviting people to a carol service on their doorstep. **30 people came along – most of whom they'd never met before!** This Christmas, they're taking things a step further, planning to share Luke's Gospel with their neighbours and invite anyone interested to explore faith further. Sometimes sharing the hope of Jesus starts with something as simple as an invitation. Could you do something similar in your neighbourhood this Christmas? #HopeTogether #ShareHope #ChristmasOutreach #GospelOfLuke

**We've sold out! ❤️** All 10,000 copies of our *In Silence We Remember Them* leaflets have now been ordered!

In silence, we remember them. ❤️ For over a century, people across the country have paused for two minutes of silence to remember those who gave their lives in war. This Remembrance Sunday, we have an opportunity not only to remember, but to reflect on sacrifice, hope and eternity. Our Remembrance leaflets have been created to help churches and communities do just that, offering a moment to pause, remember and consider the hope we have in Jesus. We now have just over 1,000 leaflets remaining (around 100 packs), so if you're planning to use them at your Remembrance service, we'd encourage you to order soon. 🔗 hopetogether.org.uk/Shop/Pro… #RemembranceSunday #WeWillRememberThem #LestWeForget #HopeTogether #ChurchResources

What could happen if you put a Gospel made for your town into the hands of your neighbours? 👀 Rachel caught up with Yan to hear what’s been happening with the Harpenden Bespoke Gospel — created with local photos and shared by churches working together across the town. As teams have knocked on doors, they’ve found around one in three people they meet are open to receiving a Gospel and prayer. 🙏 It’s an encouraging echo of what we’re seeing in the Talking Jesus research: there is real openness to conversations about Jesus. And Harpenden isn’t the only place doing this. Your town, city or community could have its own bespoke Gospel too. 📖 Local photos. ⛪ Local churches working together. 📍 Made for the place you call home. Could your town be next? Get in touch with us at office@hopetogether.org.uk to find out more. #GreatGospelGiveaway #BespokeGospels #TalkingJesus #Evangelism #HopeTogether

What could happen if churches across your town came together to share the good news of Jesus? 👀 A little Latergram from Bromley, where **55 local churches** have joined forces to bring the Gospel to their community. Together, they’ve created a bespoke Gospel featuring photographs of familiar places across Bromley, making it a resource that feels truly local. And this is just the beginning. Imagine the stories these churches could be sharing a year from now. Conversations on doorsteps, encounters on high streets, and people discovering Jesus through their local food banks and toddler groups. We’re seeing a real openness to faith across the UK, and we’d love to help more churches make the most of this opportunity. **Could your town, village or city be next?** We can help you bring local churches together to create a bespoke Gospel for your community. 📩 Get in touch at office@hopetogether.org.uk to find out more. #HopeTogether #BespokeGospels #SharingJesus #ChurchUnity #Evangelism

Back to Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️ Rachel is on the road again – this time heading to join the brilliant women at New Wine Cymru Women’s Leaders. And this trip has a special family connection. Rachel’s grandmother and great-grandmother were Welsh, and her great-grandparents were deeply impacted by the Welsh Revival. Her great-grandmother went on to become a preacher herself – quite literally preaching to the very end (you’ll have to watch to find out just how literally! 😅). So there’s something rather special about returning to Wales generations later to encourage and equip women leading in the Church today. Have a brilliant time together, New Wine Cymru 🧡 #NewWineCymru #WomenInLeadership #WelshRevival #ChurchLeadership #HopeTogether

How do we help someone move from being spiritually curious to following Jesus? With so many people across the UK open to exploring faith, that question feels increasingly important. Tomorrow, we’re joining with the @EAUKnews for our next Perspective Conversation, exploring the journey from evangelism to discipleship – not as two separate things, but as one continuing journey of meeting Jesus and following him. Join us as Joe Wharton and Katherine Brown help us explore what this looks like in practice, and how churches can respond well to those who are spiritually curious. 📅 Tomorrow ⏰ 10am–11:30am 💻 Online 🎟️ Free to join 🔗 Sign up: eauk.org/what-we-do/events/p… Come and be part of the conversation. #Evangelism #Discipleship #ChurchLeadership #Mission #HopeTogether

Some things are worth getting up early for… ☀️ A year ago, the vision for a Gospel created especially for Bromley was being talked about. Today, it’s being launched. 🙌 More than 55 churches across Bromley Borough have come together around a shared vision to help local people discover Jesus – with local photography throughout making this Gospel unmistakably Bromley. We loved joining Transform Bromley Borough at their Prayer Breakfast this morning to celebrate how far that vision has come. Created in partnership with Biblica and Hope Together, we can’t wait to see these Gospels making their way into communities across the borough. ❤️ Here’s to what can happen when local churches work together. #BromleyGospel #Bromley #HopeTogether #LocalChurch #ShareJesus

He was executed for translating the New Testament into English. On 6 October 1536, William Tyndale was strangled and his body burned at the stake near Brussels. His crime? Helping ordinary people read the Bible in their own language. Tyndale had spent years translating the Scriptures into English, working in exile and smuggling copies back into England. His work would go on to have an extraordinary influence on the English Bible. His final prayer is traditionally recorded as: “Lord, open the King of England’s eyes.” And then comes the remarkable part. Within just a few years, English Bibles were being placed in churches across the country — with much of Tyndale’s translation living on in their pages. Nearly 500 years later, many of the English words and phrases shaped by Tyndale are still familiar to us. Today, we can pick up a Bible without thinking twice about what it cost for generations before us to make that possible. So perhaps 6 October is a good day to actually open one. A daring life. A daring prayer. And a book still being read nearly five centuries later. #WilliamTyndale #ChurchHistory #ChristianHistory #BibleHistory #Reformation #TheBible #Christianity #History #OnThisDay #HopeTogether
