The Christmas season can be an incredibly busy and stressful time for many.  Christchurch City Mission is hosting a carol service and you are invited to come along, sing your favourite hymns and bring a gift (non-perishable food and standard household items and/ or a non-wrapped present for a child) and place it under the tree.

Matthew Mark, City Missioner and the Christchurch City Mission offers sincere thanks to all who are contributing to this service, especially the staff, Dean and Chapter, of the Christchurch Transitional Cathedral.

Those who will be involved in the service are:

• The Rev’d Dr Peter Carrell, Bishop-Elect of Christchurch
• The Very Rev’d Lawrence Kimberley, Dean of Christchurch Transitional Cathedral
• Organist, John Linker
• Global Voices, Directed by Helen Charlton
• Readers, Nalini Meyer, Chair of the Christchurch City Mission Divisional Committee; Fiona Bell, Youth and Adult – AOD Practitioner, Christchurch City Mission and The Rev’d Sampson Knight, Christchurch City Mission Divisional Committee member
• Verger, Peter Dawe
