Video readers used at Willowfield carol service
Willowfield Church took a novel approach to their nine lessons and carols by candlelight this year.
Three of the readings were given by parishioners via pre–recorded videos filmed in unusual settings.
Isaiah 9:2,6–7 was read by John Menagh in the Longfellow Bar (A local bar used for Pub Ministry)
Luke 1:26–33,38 was read by Margaret Murray at Towel House Nursing Home and Rebecca Walker at IGNITE:WillowfieldYouth
Philippians 2:5–11 was read by David Crymble on the Cregagh Road (Healing on the Streets Ministry)
“With the video idea we felt it was a great way to show what we are about as a church,” said Stephen Mayes, Church Administrator & Worship Coordinator.

All three videos filmed and produced by John Hamilton
The service featured a variety of music, led by Willowfield Church Choir with organist John Lyttle and an extensive worship band and singers.
Song list
Once in Royal David’s City
In the Bleak Mid–Winter
The First Noel
O Little Town of Bethlehem
Silent Night
O Holy Night
Go Tell it on the Mountain
Hark the Herald Angels Sing
I’ve found a love
Joy to the World
O Come all Ye Faithful
