NHS Grampian's Virtual Carol Service 2025
This year's service is now available to watch on YouTube at:
https://youtu.be/qjzk6ts9OtE
Join us for music, poems, readings and reflections. This year's carol service is focusing on the reality that peace doesn't happen above the complex grid of life but in the midst of it. Even when times are tough we can still find peace if we take the time to look for it and cultivate it. The ups and downs of the original Christmas story illustrate that thought very well because things were far from easy for Mary and Joseph on the long journey that led them to Bethlehem.
We hope this will be a helpful theme for anyone who find themselves unwell over the festive season and for our hardworking staff, whose daily work experience can be a demanding roller-coaster ride of emotions and responsibilities. The story of Christmas holds out the hope that peace can be found right where we are, however things are.
With thanks to NHS Grampian Charity for their support in making this virtual carol service possible.
