Festival of Lessons and Carols
December 21st | 4:00 PM in the Meetinghouse
The First Church Choir will present a Festival of Lessons and Carols on Sunday, December 21st at 4:00 PM, the opening event for our 2025-2026 Meetinghouse Concert Series. The Festival is a traditional holiday program of beloved carols and sacred readings telling the story of the Nativity which has been performed at the chapel of King’s College, Cambridge in England since the early 20th century. The program tells the story from the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve disobey God, up to the birth of Christ the Messiah at Christmas. The service typically includes the haunting carol, “Once in Royal David’s City.”
As always, admission to the concert is free, with a donation accepted at intermission. Come bring in the spirit of Christmas for you and your family, joining with the choir to sing many of your favorite carols!
