That\’s ChristmasThat’s Christmas (Short Film) HD from St Helen’s Church on Vimeo.

We all know about the real Christmas. Don’t we? Mary and Joseph. Away in a manger. Donkey. 3 wise men and the shepherds. Of course you do. You probably even played a shepherd or a wise man when you were 5.

Now you’re older and it’s all Noel Edmunds, booze, bills and unwanted visits to relatives.

This film brings Christmas back to it’s roots. The real Christmas. Where the manger mings, the baby cries and where a star really shone. The Christmas that is for everyone, everywhere.

“Church Online is as simple as it’s name… It’s an online experience in which you can worship together with a community of people from across the world. You’ll see video with worship, a talk and a short film and you’ll be able to chat with other people from around the world who are worshipping at the same time with you. Whether you’re young, old, American, Indonesian, Christian, Atheist or anything else, you are welcome at Church Online.”

Watch it live here.

“Literacy is essential for so many reasons—economic, political, physical, emotional—but the single most valuable reason is the opportunity to read the translated Word of God in your own language and begin or strengthen your relationship with the Creator and Savior.”

From Albert Mohler:

“The Christmas story does not begin in Bethlehem, but we appropriately look to Bethlehem as the scene of the most decisive event in human history — the incarnation of the Son of God. Even as we turn our attention to Bethlehem, we must remember that the story of our salvation does not begin there. That story begins in the eternal purpose of God.”

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.” That is where the Christmas story begins, and John takes us right to the essence of what happened in Bethlehem: and the Word became flesh and wealth among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the father, full of grace and truth.” [John 1:14]
