Welcome to our online Service of Six Lessons and Carols.  While the global pandemic has made this year’s a very different service it is nevertheless a wonderful celebration of the birth of Christ.  Many people have braved new technology and become part of our 'virtual' choirs and congregation and I would like to say an enormous thank you to everyone who has taken part or enabled others to take part in this way; you have made this truly a community celebration of Christmas. Listeners are warmly encouraged to raise their voices with the members of the Christmas Virtual Congregation where indicated on the order of service which you can download via the same email as brought you the link to this service.  

Many people were involved in making this service and they are all listed in the order of service, but an especial thank you goes to the staff of East Harptree Primary School for enabling the children to record their carol during this most disrupted of terms. 

Our weekly podcast services reach out to people over a wide geographical area: across the UK, Europe and even into the USA and, wherever you are listening - and singing - I wish you and your family and friends a very happy and blessed Christmas.
