Carol singing 2010


On Saturday 18th December, the morning after 12 inches of snow had fallen on Birkdale, intrepid members of St. John's joined others from Churches Together in Birkdale to sing carols in "The Village". They sang from 10.45 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. after which Jennings greengrocer kindly supplied them with much needed hot drinks!

Sunday afternoon provided yet another opportunity for singing carols at the St. John's carol service. This was a delight with narrations of the Christmas Story being interspersed with songs from the choir, GAP children and of course congregational carols. The service was particularly evocative in the light of the Christmas trees.

Unfortunately, due to the weather conditions, the planned carol singing in the streets had to be cancelled.

However, all is not lost! There will be another chance to sing carols, by the light of the trees, at the 11.00 p.m. Communion Service on Christmas Eve.

This is the last blog of the year so, may I wish you peace and goodwill this Christmas and throughout 2011!
