This UK and Ireland grassroots movement saw over 112,000 Christians in 2024, from over 1,500 churches take their Carol services and nativity events into shopping centres, town halls, high streets and public spaces. This was suggested by many leaders to be one of the largest Christmas outreaches on behalf of the UK Church.
Shine Your Light is a united collaboration of many Christian Denominations, organisations, local churches, and networks, including The Salvation Army, Bible Society, Evangelical Alliance and hundreds of local congregations in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic.
The nationwide campaign will run on the weekend of Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th December. Shine Your Lights events will occur around town halls, high streets, town and shopping centres, and other public places and take many different shapes and sizes of gathering.
