The third annual Nine Lessons “Carols and Culture” Service in Nine languages will be held at the Anglican church in Mount Gambier on Sunday from 6pm.

Organised at the initiative of Anglican parish priest Father Neil Fernando the gathering will involve different denominations, nations and cultures.

The service will include offerings in Sri Lankan, Norwegian, German, Swahili, African, Indian, Italian, South African and English languages with performances by Phoenix and Christ Church choir and choirs from other churches and organisations.

It is expected the 2021 Carols and Culture will draw a strong audience given the earlier two performances were so well received.

Fr Neil said pew seats needed to be booked by emailing christchurchcarols@gmail.com.

Tea or coffee will be available on the church grounds on Bay Road at the end of the service.

A collection will be taken up during the service to support Food Bank Mount Gambier.
