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 on the first Sunday of what our Anglican friends call “Ordinary Time” – all the weeks between now an Advent at the end of the year! Today’s service includes a celebration so you may wish to prepare bread and wine and join in.

We begin today with a rousing Hebrew-style worship song: “Jesus put this song into our hearts”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCYdLA8qR5c. Enjoy!

Our other hymn speaks of “sharing the load” within the Christian family of the Church: “Brother, sister, let me serve you”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttW9oQ-yiuU.

May God bless you as you worship with us.

P.S. So: did anyone notice that I’d forgotten to put on my ‘dog-collar’ in last week’s video? Or were you too polite to mention it?
