Ideas for inviting using the postcards and socials..
What about dropping round postcards to your road- even if you don’t know who’s behind every door its a chance for people to find out about us via the info on the postcard.
Plan a Christmas drinks event and invite colleagues and friends- have our events postcards at the ready!
Pop an invite into Christmas cards going to friends and neighbours ( you’ll need to send them out early in December though!)
Use this url and copy it into a Whats App message you can forward to your friends https://www.kerith.church/christmas-at-bracknell
Use some of our social media posts about the events coming up in the next few weeks and repost using this link ( why don’t you change your instragram profile url to this one for the season https://www.kerith.church/christmas-at-bracknell
Have the flyers in your work bag or handbag so that when you are chatting to those around you have something to give them.
Insider info
For our Christmas Experience we have both indoor and outdoor treats. Can you help us with..
Attention Small Business Owners
Just like in previous years, we'll be serving up delicious food, warm spiced apple juice, offering fun crafts for both adults and kids, and providing the perfect festive soundtrack with live music. But that's not all – this year, we're adding something special to the mix: a Christmas market.
We have room for 8 small businesses to showcase their products, and we're doing it on a first-come, first-served basis. We are asking for a fee of £10 to assist with the cost of setup. Whether you're a seasoned market seller or a first-time participant, we welcome you to be a part of this exciting holiday tradition.
If you're interested in securing your spot or learning more, please reach out to Sonya at sonya.tumuluri@kerith.church. We can't wait to see our Christmas tradition grow and flourish with the help of our amazing local small businesses!
Singing in our Gospel Choir
This year we want to include a gospel carol and therefore we are seeking out all of you that love singing but have not yet made it to our worship team. If you have a gospel swing to your voice we’d love for you to contact beccy.oliver@kerith.church who can pass you onto our Worship leader for the carols Emmanuela Frimpong. Rehearsals start soon!
Volunteering at Christmas
We are still looking for another 30 or so people to sign up to help us with the outdoor carols event as well as New Years Eve - SO please take a look at the Sign up to Serve form and add your name to either of these events - it takes an army to help, so come join the fun! SIGN UP FORM HERE.
Setting Things Right this Christmas- Revive Christmas Initiative
Christmas is just around the corner and for our Kerith Revive team the focus turns to thinking about those that may be struggling this Christmas. Every year we are blown away by the generosity of our Kerith communities as we ask if you are able to, to bless those we’ve been working with. Last year with your donations, we were able to purchase gift vouchers for people and in doing so, give them the dignity and freedom to purchase presents or food themselves.
We would love to be able to do this again and so if you are able to we would really appreciate it if you could buy either a £10 or £20 ‘All 4 One’ gift voucher and bring it to church with you. Until the end of November, you will see a display with a ‘Revive Tree’ and ‘Gift Vouchers’ box in the foyer where you can pop your purchased vouchers. You will also see on the table some mock voucher’s that you can take away as a prompt or reminder to purchase your vouchers during the week.
