During the Coronavirus pandemic, ‘virtual’ worship will be posted on the Christchurch United Church Facebook page. These videos will also be available on the website shortly afterwards. Please click on title above.

The ‘virtual’ worship can be viewed on Facebook or below.

Good morning and welcome to worship which I hope will be both topical and useful. The service includes a celebration of Holy Communion so you may wish to prepare suitable bread and wine before watching.

I’ve had to choose different hymns to the ones we’re having in church, as I can’t find acceptable versions online.

Our first hymn is set to a lovely Hebrew melody: “Praise to the living God”. Unfortunately it’s only played (in a beautiful church) rather than sung, but you can hum along with the words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OvDqDmsNcI.

We finish with a well-known him about God and country – “Lord of the years”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd14v0e1RWU. I hope you like the descant at the end, I think it’s quite ins[iring!

May God bless you as you join with us.
