Christmas rose – carol service order of service
An order of service for a carol service, with a watercolour spray of white Christmas roses and a lit candle in a brass candlestick reaching in from the corner. “Nine Lessons & Carols” is lettered beside the flowers in a tall evergreen serif and a plum script, between the church above and the date and time below, and the whole service runs below in two clear columns: the processional carol and bidding prayer, then nine lessons on gold Roman numerals, each with its reading, its reader and the carol that follows in plum (the carols everyone sings marked “All”), then the collect and blessing, the final carol and a warm note about mulled wine, mince pies and the retiring collection. Change the church or school, the date and time, the readings, readers and carols, then print it on A5 to hand out at the door of a church, school or choir carol service or carol concert.
First design free, then 99p, or £5 a month for every design.
