Gifted Worship Resource Pack

Bright ideas for festive services from Advent to Epiphany

Christmas is one of the richest opportunities we have to connect with people who might not usually come to church and who may be open to hearing something of the good news through the story we tell at Christmas.

This worship resource pack is designed to support you as you plan services that tie in with Gifted, the Methodist Church’s 2025 Christmas campaign.

The Gifted Worship Resource Pack is available to download as a PDF, but you can also access each service in HTML format using the links below.

The candle liturgies for each day are also available as separate files as follows:

What's new?

New for this year is an accompanying small group guide, designed to follow the same themes and help people explore them in a more conversational way. This can be dowloaded from methodist.org.uk/ChristmasResources

This year’s theme encourages us to give thanks by recognising the gifts in one another. We’re inviting everyone to write a personal thank you card to someone they know – simply saying thank you for being the gift that they are. Gifted thank you cards can be ordered from methodistpublishing.org.uk

What's inside?

Inside, you’ll find ideas for eight worship services, running from the start of Advent (Sunday 30 November) through to Epiphany. Christmas Day falls on a Thursday this year. Each service can be used on its own, but they work beautifully as a full journey through the season. You’ll also find suggestions for a carol service and a Blue Christmas service, which can be held at any time to suit your community.
