The Christmas Bowl is an important symbol for churches, schools and individuals all around Australia who work together to promote peace, justice and partnership. The funds raised for the Christmas Bowl support the courageous and life-saving work of our ecumenical project partners who empower war-torn communities to protect refugees, prevent further conflict and reduce extreme poverty.
The 2009 Christmas Bowl kits were posted out to churches across Australia in
late September. If you did not receive your free hard copy of this
year's
Christmas Bowl kit and would like us to send you one, please ring Jordan Shank or Edwyn Shiell on 1800 025 101 or email: christmasbowl@ncca.org.au
The kit materials along with videos, PowerPoint presentations, additional activities and a Christmas Bowl Cookbook are available here for download. Please click on the links in the top right of this page under 'Resources & Events' to download the resources or on the links below:
With the help of the Christmas Bowl, our Act for Peace project partners are currently assisting more than 1 million people living in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, the Pacific and Australia.
This Christmas, please encourage those in your congregation or group to place a bowl on their dinner table during Advent and Christmas, at a function or pass around a bowl during a service. The bowl symbolises the great need of people in war-torn countries. By filling the bowl with our gifts, we offer hope, generosity and love to those people that truly need our support.
Christmas is the time of year that we spend with those who are closest to us. Help others who may not be able to be with their loved ones this Christmas. A gift to the Christmas Bowl, no matter the size, will make a difference. Help fill the Christmas Bowl and bring peace. Help others survive and rebuild.
