creativity paired with generosity! What a blessing to the body of Christ.

Aren't they great? We used them in our church on Sunday night.

Lovely - very evocative. Thank you, Richard!

Thanks folks ... glad you're enjoying them.

I've done a simple "how to" guide so you can make your own! Hopefully that should be appearing here soon. Software is Windows only, sadly, unless you know of similar tools for Mac, anyone? I hear that Quartz Composer is pretty nifty on Mac if you can get your head round it.

Ali - can you not just put them into a PowerPoint presentation? Not quite sure what you're asking - give us some more detail and I'll try and help further.

used these at the start of a 'candle light' carol service, with some music played underneath. They were great for setting the mood and creating a reflective atmosphere.

These are great images - thank you so much. I am using 'The Word became flesh' for our carols by candlelight service, firstly as the image in publicity and will also use it at points during the service.

John - 1:34pm - 06 Dec 2014

This imagery is wonderful. So inspiring. I can't wait to use it at our community carols evening. Thank you.
