The annual tradition returns to South Church in December. This beloved service is based on the first Festival of Lessons and Carols that was held in King’s College Chapel, Cambridge on Christmas Eve of 1918. Featuring the South Church Chancel Choir, this service combines the reading of scripture with choral anthems, traditional Christmas carols, and hymns.
A contemplative and hopeful gathering, Lessons and Carols is a beautiful way to prepare for the coming holiday.
