Office of Nine Lessons and Carols

Tonight saw our Carol Service. Great shame that the weather kept people away from this annual treat. It enables us to enter into the spirit of Christmas as we reflect on the wonderful story of our salvation through hymns and readings.
A huge thank you to John and Jackie Hendry for the care of directing our choir to offer us this celebration, the same big thanks for the choir members and the readers who so diligently enabled us to reflect on our Lord and also to those who offered us welcome refreshments afterwards.
Hopefully these photos will offer you a flavour of the blessings we shared tonight.

O Jesus, who in Thy bitter Passion didst become "the most abject of men, a man of sorrows", I venerate Thy Sacred Face whereon there once did shine the beauty and sweetness of the Godhead; but now it has become for me as if it were the face of a leper! Nevertheless, under those disfigured features, I recognize Thy infinite Love and I am consumed with the desire to love Thee and make Thee loved by all men. O Jesus, I implore Thee to fix deep within me Thy divine image and to set me on fire with Thy Love, that I may be found worthy to come to the contemplation of Thy glorious Face in Heaven. Amen.
