    Welcome!

    We’ve been giving out 5000 copies of

    Tipton Xmas Factor

    Christmas is full of singing. Being Christmas No 1 is still a ‘big deal’ in the music business.
    And so it was at the first Christmas.
    Angels sing (yes, we believe in angels!), an old man sings, and a simple young girl from ‘nowheresville’ sings.
    Not to be judged, or be famous or to compete with James or Jahmene.
    But to praise God.

    Why would they do that?
    Why would we do that?

    It is because of the most extraordinarily good news in the world. Bostin news in fact.

    You can read about it in the Leaflet (online below in case you didn’t get one) or come to one of our Carol Services on 23rd December, or join us on Christmas Day (10.30 am).

    We’d love to invite you know the person who makes us sing.

    Jesus Christ.

    Really the best way to find out about Him is to come along Sunday by Sunday to His church – where He is loved, praised and listened to in His word the Bible. Details of our services are here.

    But another way of doing it is coming along to a Christianity Explored Course. We run these regularly and people have found them a helpful way of finding answers to their questions about their lives and about God. Without pressure. And with others. It’s a way of exploring the claims of Jesus direct from the sources.

  • Mary’s Song

    We didn’t have space in the leaflet to put all of Mary’s Song.
    So here it is, taken from Luke’s first book about Jesus:

    My soul glorifies the Lord
    and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
    for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.
    From now on all generations will call me blessed,
    for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
    holy is his name.
    His mercy extends to those who fear him,
    from generation to generation.
    He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
    he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
    He has brought down rulers from their thrones
    but has lifted up the humble.
    He has filled the hungry with good things
    but has sent the rich away empty.
    He has helped his servant Israel,
    remembering to be merciful
    to Abraham and his descendants forever,
    even as he said to our fathers.” (Chapter 1 Verses 46-55)

  • Katie’s Favourite Carol

    Two carols stick out for me.
    The first is: ‘See him lying in a bed of straw’:

    It is an up-tempo song (which first the joy of the Christmas message really well):

    Mine are riches from your poverty,
    from your innocence, eternity;
    mine forgiveness by your death for me,
    child of sorrow for my joy.

    This reminds me of God sent His Son, Jesus, to do.
    I am rich because Jesus suffered for me,
    I have eternity because of Jesus’ innocence
    I am forgiven because Jesus died for me
    and Jesus faced sorrow so that I could know real joy. How truly incredible is that?

    The second is ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’.
    I particularly enjoy the last verse, as it can be sung as a prayer – a prayer anyone can pray at any time:

    Cast out our sin and enter in;
    be born in us today.

  • Alan’s Favourite Carol

    “I love Christmas and have so many favoutire Carols.
    But there is one in my mind at the moment: ‘Silent Night! Holy Night!’
    The bit that always stands out for me is:

    Love is shining from thy face,
    strikes for us now the hour of grace,
    Saviour, since thou art born!

    It was back in my childhood that God’s grace in Jesus first ‘struck home’. Even then I realised my need of Jesus as my Saviour. I recently passed my ‘three score years and ten’ and am more aware than ever of my sinfulness and so am more and more grateful that Jesus was born to bring forgiveness of sin through His death on the cross. That’s why I sing ‘Silent Night’ with even greater enthusiasm the older I get!

    Silent night, holy night
    All is calm, all is bright
    Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
    Holy Infant so tender and mild
    Sleep in heavenly peace
    Sleep in heavenly peace

    Silent night, holy night!
    Shepherds quake at the sight
    Glories stream from heaven afar
    Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
    Christ, the Saviour is born
    Christ, the Saviour is born

    Silent night, holy night
    Son of God, love’s pure light
    Radiant beams from Thy holy face
    With the dawn of redeeming grace
    Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
    Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
