Carol Service 2025

2025 MMC Carol Service - Cathedral of Christ the Living Saviour, Colombo, Sri Lanka. “On the 26th of November 2025, cyclone Ditwah swept across Sri Lanka. Homes were submerged, livelihoods were broken, and lives were tragically lost.” “In the days that followed, many who longed to be here could not come entire neighbourhoods under water, roads cut off, families unable to travel.” “Those who usually serve quietly behind the scenes were themselves affected suppliers under water, homes and livelihoods disrupted.” “And yet, in the midst of loss and uncertainty, God stirred hearts.” “At the eleventh hour, new hands stepped forward, help came from unexpected places, and light broke through the darkness.” “This Carol Service was held not only in celebration, but in prayer for those who lost their lives, for those who could not be here, for families rebuilding, and for a nation yearning for healing.” “On the 29th of November, despite the storm and the struggle, more than 1,400 people gathered in candlelight and faith for the Music Ministry Choir’s Carol Service at the Cathedral of Christ the Living Saviour, Colombo.” “As you watch, may this service lead you to the heart of Christmas the birth of Christ, the Light that entered the darkness, the promise of new beginnings.” “May it remind us that even after storms, hope is born anew, faith is restored, and God is still with us calling us into a closer walk with Him.” “The Music Ministry Choir, together with the Music Ministry Servers Guild, wish you and your loved ones a blessed Christmas and a peaceful, hope-filled 2026.” “May the joy of Christ’s birth fill your hearts and homes with love, faith, and light.” 🌿 Supporting the Rebuild Sri Lanka Fund If this Carol Service has moved your heart, the Music Ministry Choir humbly invites you to support the Rebuild Sri Lanka Fund, helping families rebuild their lives after the recent cyclone. 🇱🇰 DONATING FROM SRI LANKA Donate to: Account Name: Deputy Secretary to the Treasury Account Number: 2026450 Bank: Bank of Ceylon Branch: Taprobane Branch 🌍 DONATIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY 🇺🇸 US Dollar (USD) Bank: Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, New York, USA Recipient Account Name: Central Bank of Sri Lanka Account Number: 04015541 Routing Number: 021001033 SWIFT: BKTRUS33XXX 🇪🇺 Euro (EUR) Bank: ODDO BHF Bank, Frankfurt am Main, Germany Recipient Account Name: Central Bank of Sri Lanka Account Number: 0000739854 IBAN: DE39500202000000739854 SWIFT: BHFBDEFF500 🇬🇧 Pound Sterling (GBP) – Account 1 Bank: HSBC Bank Plc, London, UK Recipient Account Name: Central Bank of Sri Lanka Account Number: 39600144 Sort Code: 40-05-15 IBAN: GB48MIDL40051539600144 SWIFT: MIDLGB22XXX 🇬🇧 Pound Sterling (GBP) – Account 2 Bank: Bank of Ceylon (UK) Ltd, London, UK Recipient Account Name: Central Bank of Sri Lanka Account Number: 88001249 Sort Code: 40-50-56 IBAN: GB89BCEY40505688001249 SWIFT: BCEYGB2LXXX 🇯🇵 Japanese Yen (JPY) Bank: MUFG Bank, Tokyo, Japan Recipient Account Name: Central Bank of Sri Lanka Account Number: 653-0407895 SWIFT: BOTKJPJTXXX 🇦🇺 Australian Dollar (AUD) Bank: Reserve Bank of Australia Recipient Account Name: Central Bank of Sri Lanka Account Number: 81736-4 BSB: 092002 SWIFT: RSBKAU2SXXX Thank you for standing with Sri Lanka in prayer, compassion, and generosity.
