Welcome to Project 25. Our 25 day countdown to Christmas – one of the most special times of the year for Christians.
Our project 25 is a series of 25 challenges, videos, readings, and discussions designed for you and your family to do together. Our prayer is that this year is ‘NOT just another Christmas’ – but a special one, where you and your family celebrate its true meaning.
So find a time that works best for you and your family to sit together. Maybe it’s breakfast time, maybe it’s after dinner, or maybe it’s before bed. Project 25 is designed to be fun AND meaningful.
We’d love to hear your feedback on it, so please feel free to send us an email on ak@granshaw.org
