It happens every year on the same day and every year – despite the massive build up – it seems to catch us out. Not Winterval, but Christmas. Are you ready?
Christmas presents (did you see what I did there?) a genuine opportunity to talk about Jesus; it is perhaps the one time in the year when it is okay to tell others about our faith and hope. This month Charlie Cleverly, the Rector of St. Aldate’s Church in Oxford, is going to share his heart with us about mission and redeeming Christmas.

This month we will be looking together at a specific situation where employee morale suffered due to a bad employment decision.
Maybe you have a story to tell about a similar situation in your business, or you may have developed strategies for keeping your people well motivated. In either case – or both – I feel certain that we will have the opportunity to learn from each other and to consider how we can become more Christ-like in our roles as leaders.
