Service Orders - Friday, 24 December 2021- Christmas Eve, Year C
For Christmas plays and children’s services, please visit our Seasonal Resources page.
Additional Resources for the Christmas Lessons and Carols service:
In addition to the usual PowerPoint and Printed Service Order, you will find
– a PPT which has all the readings and backing tracks for all the hymns embedded, so that when you press ‘Begin Slideshow’ on the PPT you get a full service with visuals and sound. All you need to do is click between slides as the audio plays. This could be helpful if you want to use it in church or a small group and you don’t have a lot of readers or a musician.
– Christmas Lessons and Carols on Youtube
– Christmas Carols on Spotify
The service does not include a sermon in the order. if you wish to include one, please refer to the Sermons tab.
