A Service of Advent Lessons and Carols

A Service of Advent Lessons and Carols
Sunday, December 7, 2025 | 4:00 p.m. | Church

Sixteen years after introducing the now-famous Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols to King’s College, Cambridge, the Dean of King’s College created this service for Advent. He stated that the purpose of the service was “not to celebrate Christmas, but to expect it.” The Bethesda Choir leads the service and offers Advent carols and anthems. Some of the greatest hymns of the church year are in the Advent section of our hymnal, and the congregation sings many of them in this service. There is no recital preceding the service, but Prelude music begins at approximately 3:40 p.m. Please come and bring your friends.
