A Service for Christmas Day

Published by |

Reverend Canon Jo Neary, Team Vicar in the Beaminster Team, presents a recorded Worship at Home video service for Christmas Day – Thursday 25 December 2025.

Our online Worship at Home video services take a break now for Christmas and we’ll return for a video for Sunday 11 January.

If you would like to follow along with the service, you can download a PDF copy of the order of service.

If you’d like to donate to the work we do to keep the videos flowing then you can do so via Give a Little.

Collect

Almighty God, you have given us your only-begotten Son
to take our nature upon him and as at this time to be born
of a pure virgin: grant that we, who have been born again
and made your children by adoption and grace, may daily
be renewed by your Holy Spirit; through Jesus Christ your
Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity
of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Music

Our hymn today was sung by St Martin’s Voices.
