December 2020: Nine

9 lesson, 9 tunes - it’s a Christmas tradition! Even King’s College are going virtual this year.

There will be a cafe afterwards. We would have mulled wine and mince pies in normal circumstances - maybe get yourself some seasonal snacks and be the envy of your breakout group.

The readings are:

Lesson 1: The creation

Jonny
Genesis 1, vv 1-5, 26-8, 31

Lesson 2: The fall

Lesson 3: The people who walked in darkness...

We each placed a Post-it note over our cameras, causing our windows to appear as coloured rectangles.

What do you need to be in the box?
Write it down

What do you want to be in the box for you alone?

Put the answers in a box
