Lessons and Carols
December 15, 2011
6:30 in the church
Lessons and Carols is a festive service of scripture readings and Advent and Christmas carols that displays the talents of our school students. The service began in England, and is widely used all over the world during Advent and Christmas time. Some of the carols are sung by the students alone, and some by everyone gathered. The Advent and Christmas story in its entirety is told through scripture readings, read by the students. The program will last about an hour. Everyone, students and assembly alike, are invited and encouraged to raise their voices in the beautiful music of the Advent and Christmas seasons. Join us!
