Lessons & Carols Worship Service Spotlight
During this very special service on Dec 15th @ 11 AM, the choir presents anthems that tell the Christmas story along with scripture readings and the lighting of the joy candle. We are especially excited to welcome a string quartet featuring Maria Kindt, Myra Ann Patterson, Maria Kallestad, and Jayden Toomey. In addition, Laura Russell and David Soyars play a four-hand accompaniment for the Gaelic Alleluia – with Janet Speer on percussion! The choir will also sing Mary’s Magnificat, The Wexford Carol, Jesus, Jesus Rest Your Head, How Great Our Joy and a glorious arrangement of The First Noel. Please join us as we tell, sing, and express our joy for the precious gift of our Lord and Savior. The choir has been working diligently with added rehearsals to make up for missed time due to the storm, so please invite your friends and neighbors.
