The Methodist Church
There is Room – Christmas for Everyone
We seek to demonstrate the Methodist Church as an open, welcoming and inclusive place for all. Through the lens of a Methodist Way of Life, it will offer content relevant for today’s world, aiming to encourage and support anyone who wants to find out more about Christian faith and the Methodist Church.
Archdiocese of Birmingham

We look forward to the coming of Christ: celebrating His birth, His renewed coming into our lives this Christmas, especially through the Eucharist, and His second coming at the end of time.
