A service of Holy Communion for Christmas morning

Words & Praise is a short, very informal modern service, led by a church member (usually church warden). It isn’t out of the Prayer Book at all but designed simply for our own parishes to use. We have hymns and Bible readings and prayers, and a little talk about the understanding of the readings. This usually lasts no longer than half an hour, and we then finish with coffee/tea and biscuits and a friendly get together and chat. There is a collection during the service to help with our expenses.
