We have just enjoyed a carol service in the village pub at Liverton - deep in the countryside of the North Yorkshire Moors.
As we have sung the well known carols and have heard again much - loved Bible Readings, we have reflected how Jesus was born into the real world. A world in need of love and peace, in a world in need of justice and respect.
Our singing and reading have reminded us that Christ is born in our hearts and lives today through faith.
May God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Bless you all this Christmas time.

What a novel place to have a church service - in a pub! Great post denise
Looks like it was a good service.
You came through Mrs Nes !
Is it Monday you are off to Whitby..?
Blue and I plan a power shop tomorrow and will get everything finished up.
The town next to me here in Ontario is called Whitby..!
how interesting to have the service in a pub...but then why not....lovely words and then a cup of cheer...are you in any of these photos?
xo
My brother lived in Whitby many years ago...in Ontario that is! lol It must have been such an interesting service, being in the pub, but it certainly looks like everyone was enjoying themselves:-) xox
You seem to live in a very friendly community!!!
I visit whitby 10 years ago, it is a nice town. And your bishop is a good looking man.

It was a lovely service, and as the bishop pointed out, appropriate because Jesus was born quite near to an inn, and indeed as you travel to our village there are many sheep in the fields!
Lisa, not in any of the photos but maybes later today as I am off to Whitby!
Have a good day all and catch you all later!
I love that you had your service in a pub. I sometimes get teased because a group from choir goes to a pub after practice each week..wait until I tell them you actually had a service there. hehe
The people look lovely. A festive way of remembering the Christ child. :)
