Churches Advertising Network Competition

Thursday, 6th November 2008

This year, the UK based Churches Advertising Network is running a great competition to re-tell the Christmas story in 30 seconds!

The network has made a couple of brilliant versions, including a football (soccer) match and a horse race to give you some ideas!

Well I thought it would be fun to have a go, so here’s my entry.  I call it ‘A Lesson in Seven Carols’:

I’ve also made a 60 second version (A Lesson in Eleven Carols!) just for fun!

I’ll keep you updated with what happens with the competition!

whychristmas?com and me (James!) are members of the Merry Network. This year, all the webmaster of the network have deiced to help Santa out and have set a goal to raise $1000 to help a family for Christmas 2008.

Great Christmas offers from Ishmael

Friday, 23rd November 2007

Ishmael (or Ish to his friends!) is a wonderful man at the forefront of kids ministry and music.  He had a big influence on my when I was younger (I’m three times glorie, a badge of honour if your ‘of an age’!).

Ish has got some great Christmas offers this year and I’d like to share them with you.

Ish has got a new book out  ‘A year according to Ish’ and if you buy it now you get his ‘Christmas Carol Celebration’ CD (worth £7.50) for free!  What a great Christmas deal!

There’s another offer on the Christmas CD as well, you can get the ‘Christmas Carol Celebration’ CD and the ‘It’s Christmas’ CD both for £10.

Go on, get one, you know you want to!

Keep up the great work and Happy Christmas Ish!

A new Christmas forum has opened at: organisedchristmaselves.co.uk

It’s a spin off from Organized Christmas (where the forum has closed) and will be run by a fellow Brit!

You never know, you might see me there, or you can find me over on the Merry Forums as ‘whychristmas’.
