15 December 2024: A Christmas challenge
One of our Lay Ministers led this morning’s Sunday Special. While the children had their own activity, he challenged us adults with a quiz consisting of the second lines of well-known carols. We had to write down the first line.
It was more difficult than it sounds. The first line to “On the Feast of Stephen” was obviously “Good King Wenceslas looked out” but others gave us more problems. I found it particularly frustrating when I worked out the tune but still failed to remember how the carol started. None of us got all of them.
