Tearfund’s Rachael Adams shares a prayer exercise we can use to partner with God in the New Year. The New Year symbolises new beginnings.

Lasting between 20 and 25 minutes, viewers will be taken on journey exploring what Christmas is really about and featuring much of what we might expect in a St Mungo’s Carol service, including a performed song, an alpha interview, a gospel talk and some “Vox Pops” all wrapped around the theme that God is with us today and forever.
