A Service of Lessons and Carols
December 14, 2014 @ 8:30 am - 12:00 pm
Join us on Sunday, December 14 for any of the morning services where the Choir will be presenting a modern version of the traditional service of Nine Lessons and Carols.
The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols is a service of Christian worship celebrating the birth of Jesus that is traditionally followed at Christmas. The story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus is told in nine short Bible readings from Genesis, the prophetic books and the Gospels, interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols, hymns and choir music.
The structure of the service is as simple as the title: nine passages of Scripture are followed by nine carols. But the content of those readings and the traditional way of conducting the service have become very meaningful to many.
