Christmas Angels – Churches Together in Chandler‘s Ford

Belief in angels is common to many religions, and some recent research also shows some atheists admitting to believing in them. They are important in the Islamic tradition as well as Jewish and Christian faiths. Angels feature in popular culture, films, songs, and street art including works of Banksy. Some people believe in ‘guardian angels’ and others think of them more as messengers from God.

At this time of year Christians think of the angels who brought messages to Mary and to Joseph, and those witnessed by shepherds; first a single angel bringing the good news of the birth of Jesus and then many, singing of peace on earth.

In these unsettled times, news of joy and peace are much needed and so Churches Together in Chandler’s Ford have combined to bring a little joy into our community this Christmas through the knitted angels that you will find popping up around the streets and public places in mid-December.

Please do take the angels home to hang on your tree or pass on; they are offered as a gift, with a message of peace and love this Christmas.

To learn more about why we believe Christmas brings a message of good news, we invite you to join any of our services and events over Christmas, further details of which can be found on the Churches Together website.

Or join us for some joyful carol singing organised by Churches Together, outside Waitrose on Monday 19 December at 6pm.

Wishing you all joy and peace this Christmas.
