St Andrew and St George URC

21/12/2025

Today, congregations from St Andrew & St George URC and Bolton Methodist Mission (Victoria Hall) joined together for our service of 12 Lessons and Carols, followed by fellowship and mince pies.

One additional peace of music we used for reflection: Sheila Erena-Murray's "Peace Child"

Many were moved by this wonderful setting found on YouTube:

Peace Child,
in the sleep of the night
in the dark before light
you come,
in the silence of stars
in the violence of wars --
Saviour, your name.

Peace Child,
To the road and the storm
to the gun and the bomb
you come, through the hate and the hurt,
through the hunger and dirt --
bearing a dream.

Peace Child,
to our dark and our sleep
to the conflict we reap
now come --
be your dream born alive,
held in hope, wrapped in love:
God's true Shalom.

"The time came for the baby to be born, and Mary gave birth to her firstborn, a son, who was named Jesus. Mary wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a stable manger, because there was no room for them at the inn."
A very Happy Christmas from the everyone in The United Reformed Church. Read a reflection for Christmas Day on our website, www.urc.org.uk

May this Christmas Eve wrap you in peace, surround you with love, and pave the way for tomorrow when we remember the miracle of Christ's birth - the arrival of our Saviour.
