Join us Christmas Eve for three remarkable celebrations of the Feast of the Nativity on Tuesday, December 24.
The 4 p.m. service will be casual and oriented to people of all ages. The language of the service will be easy to follow. The Eventide Band will lead us is singing a variety of favorite Christmas carols.
The 7 p.m. service will be a full choral Eucharist with choir and a chamber orchestra. The star of the Anglican Communion's Christmas celebration, Christmas Eve is filled with sights, smells and sounds of the season.
At 10 p.m., the choir and orchestra return. This service is modeled after the traditional Anglican midnight Mass liturgy and will include much liturgical pageantry, including incense.
The singing of Christmas Carols will precede the 7 and 10 p.m. services for 20 minutes.
