Follow the Star: Join the Song

Follow the Star: Join the Song is the Church of England's Christmas theme for 2023. It invites you to hear and respond to the angels’ invitation to gather in the presence of the newborn Jesus.

For each day from Christmas Eve to the Eve of Epiphany (5 January), this app offers a short reading from the Bible, a reflection challenging you to see the Christmas story afresh, an invitation to wonder what this Christmas means in your own life, and a prayer to help you treasure this story in your heart.

It provides:

• Daily FollowTheStar reflections from Christmas Eve to 5 January on the theme of Join The Song
• Short daily Advent reflections from 1 December to 24 December
• Optional daily reminders
• An Advent Calendar of actions for families, each day of December
• Details of thousands of Christmas services and events near you
• Easy access to national online services for Advent and Christmas.
