At family services, we usually have a quiz or game. In true Christmas-party style, Mark Burgin organised a dancing game where, when the music stopped, we had to become either a Christmas tree or Santa carrying a sack of presents or a reindeer. It was a game of elimination, since you were ‘out’ if you were caught in the pose Mark shouted out.


As people were eliminated, the remaining competitors came to the front to dance…

and to pose…

and to win…

As always, there were prizes to win:


As you can see, this carol service was a relaxed affair and we had lots of fun:

But along with the sermon, there were serious moments too. A dialogue read out by Dave and Julie reminded us of the incredible plan of salvation God imagined for us. Entitled, “He’s going to do what?”, this looked at how two angels received the news of God’s plan of salvation.


If you’d like to join in more entertaining games and quizzes and sing carols proclaiming the wonders of Christ’s birth, then please feel free to join us on Market Street at 6 p.m. tonight, Sunday 19th December, for the second of our carol services with a smile!
