Want to do something different in your town or village this Christmas?
Want to include people who would never normally come to church?
Want to raise some money for BibleLands?
How about putting on a beer and carols event in your local pub?
PLUS Join our video challenge and raise awareness of BibleLands this Christmas!
Think you can do better?
Choose any carol from the Bethlehem Carol Sheet. Video your church members/pub regulars/friends singing it to a tune that's NOT THE USUAL ONE. We've used Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious as an example, but the choice is yours. Upload it as a video response to the above video on YouTube. (Make sure it's a video response so we know it's there.)
After Christmas, we'll pick our favourite entry - the winners will be featured in our magazine and receive a trophy! The deadline for uploads is 19 January 2010, and the winners will be announced shortly afterwards.
Anyone can take part in this competition - you don't have to have ordered a Beer and Carols Pack. If you would like to order one, however, here's how!
Order a Beer and Carols Pack
The idea is really simple. You ask a local friendly landlord if you can hold a carol singalong in their pub in the run up to Christmas. You find a musician to accompany you, and order your beer and carols pack from BibleLands by emailing Carlton D'Souza or phoning him on 01494 897905. The pack contains carol sheets, a music book and a BibleLands' collecting tin. There is a small charge to cover postage and the cost of producing these materials.
