In the year 1880, Bishop Benson of Truro Cathedral in Conwall devised a Service of Nine Bible Readings or "Lessons" interspersed with Christmas Carols. This format was taken up by the Choir at King's College Cambridge in 1918 and in 1954 on BBC Television.
The nine Bible Readings follow the story of how the first man and woman broke their relationship with God by disobeying Him by eating the fruit of a particular tree. The readings continue with the story of how Abraham was willing to kill his own son, two Bible readings fortelling the coming of Jesus, the story of Jesus' birth, and concludes with the reading from the beginning of the Gospel of John that explains that the baby Jesus was, in fact, God born as a human being.
Come along and celebrate the story of Christmas in words and song
Mice pies and refreshments afterwards!
