Carols & Lessons Service
Sunday, December 14 | During our 10:30 a.m. service
Our Advent Lessons and Carols are intended as a preparation for the Christmas season that begins on Christmas Eve.
The Advent Lessons and Carols service features three lessons from the Hebrew Scripture and three lessons from the New Testament. The hymns and special music offerings are closely linked with the readings; thus, Lessons & Carols. We really don't get into the Christmas themes of Birth - so, the music is not the joyous literature known by one and all. It is, instead, a reflective service that moves us from prophecy toward fulfillment during the Gaudete or Joy Sunday that relieves our Advent (semi-penitential) journey.

Sunday, December 14 | 4 p.m.
