And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7
In the Christmas story, we are made acutely aware that there was no room for Joseph and Mary to rest when they arrived in Bethlehem, in the more traditional places reserved for hospitality in Jewish culture. This meant they had to use other spaces which were available.
Jesus’ birth changed everything and made room for us in God’s Kingdom. As part of the Methodist Church, we seek to demonstrate our open, inclusive and welcoming nature by saying to all people, ‘There is Room’ for you.
There is Room is the 2022 Advent and Christmas campaign for the Methodist Church. It seeks 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.
