Service of Lessons and Carols with Communion
Sunday, December 30, 2018
10:00am
Our celebration will tell the Biblical story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus using five short readings from Genesis, the prophets and the Gospels. Between the readings we will sing Christmas carols. There will be no sermon. The celebration will include our usual communion service and should take not much longer than a regular Sunday service.
The original Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols was a service drawn up by E.W. Benson, later Archbishop of Canterbury, for use on Christmas Eve 1880, in the wooden shed, which then served as his cathedral in Truro, Cornwall, England. Many of us are familiar with the service held annually at King’s College in Cambridge, England. That service was first celebrated in 1918 and has been broadcast regularly
by the BBC since 1928.
Please invite your family and friends to join us in this festive Christmas season service.
