Church service with Christmas carols offered on local radio

A special Sunday church service with carols will be aired on the local radio Dec.27, as many families are not able to visit their places of worship during the COVID-19 restrictions.

The program will be broadcast at 8 a.m. on 1050 CJNB and 102.3 FM CJNS. The one-hour service featuring Christmas Carols and Reflections is a partnership with St. George’s and St. Paul’s Anglican Church.

Rev. Trevor Malyon said the radio service fills a need in the community for people of many denominations who miss being able to attend service at their own church. He hopes the program helps lift people’s spirits during a difficult year.

“Carols – their words and melody – unite us and remind us our focus is rejoicing at the birth of Christ…,” he said. “The coronavirus is a dark force which threatens humanity. Carols encourage many outside the church that there is hope for the world.”
