An online Christmas service designed for people working shifts will be released on the Church of England website at 6 a.m. on Christmas Day.
Lasting 15 minutes, so that it can be watched in the course of a break from work, the service was created in response to a request by hospital chaplains, and includes a Gospel reading, sermon, prayers, and music.
The Bishop of London, the Rt Revd Sarah Mullally, features in the service. A former nurse, and Chief Nursing Officer for the NHS, she says that she has “fond memories” of working on Christmas Day.
“Although not always easy, it is a privilege to be with people who need us most at this time. And of course, we receive so much from them too.”
