Churches Together in the Merseyside Region unveil poster campaign for Christmas 2014.

Get your church involved in showing how Christmas starts with Christ.

Make CHRISTpart of your

Christmas Tradition

Make CHRISTpart of your

Christmas TraditionEveryone has a Christmas tradition. When to decorate the house, when to put

the tree up, how to have Christmas lunch. What to eat, watch, and drink. Who

to meet up with, where to go. Small traditions, unique to every family

making Christmas special for each of us.

Churches Together in the Merseyside Region with Together

for the Harvest and other church partners are supporting

the national Christmas starts with Christ Campaign with

a unique poster that shows how Christ can be part of

everyone’s Christmas tradition. That encourages people

to think of the importance of being with God and in

church. It also links to the national campaign, supporting

our national efforts.

We are funding a campaign across the local bus and rail network

and supplying posters and artwork that you can use for you church.

Together we can show the people of Merseyside that Christmas starts with Christ and Christ can

be part of their Christmas tradition.

In partnership with:

Churches Together in the Merseyside Region

CHURCHES TOGETHER IN THE

MERSEYSIDE REGION

We have commissioned special artwork that is designed to

reflect and encourage the idea that most people build family

traditions around Christmas.

These traditions are great as they’re what makes Christmas

special for so many. Our campaign will help people see

Christmas services as part of this.

We have also funded poster sites in Liverpool’s Central station

and on the local bus network. A campaign, starting the

beginning of advent, designed so the maximum number of

people will see that Christmas starts with Christ. We aim this

to be the start. We want the campaign to build and grow

over the next 3 to 5 years. We want more people to know

that Christmas starts with Christ. We can achieve some of

this ourselves - but we can achieve much more if we all work

together.

HOW YOUCAN GET INVOLVED

The main way you can be

involved is to display the

poster and image. Put it on

your noticeboard, your service

sheets, your invitations. By

September we will have free

resources on our website www.

merseychristmas.com and

should be able to announce

how you can get discounts on

printing your own high quality

material.

We’ll be delighted if you can

donate money to fund more

advertising. We can help you

your Christmas Tradition

buy a poster for your local bus stop. Or you can contribute to

more adverts on the network.

We will also look to have plenty of creative fun on social media

as we show that Christ can be part of everyone’s Christmas

tradition - no matter what that tradition is.
