David Sinden leads the St. Peter’s Choir in a service of Lessons and Carols for Advent on Sunday, December 8 at 5:00 p.m.

Music old and new proclaims Advent themes throughout the service’s four sections: 1) the Message of Advent, 2) the Word of God, 3) the Prophetic Call, 4) the Christ-Bearer. The pattern of this service reflects the season’s growing anticipation, both of the first coming of Christ and of that day when the prayer “Thy Kingdom come” is finally and fully answered.

This Advent service is modeled on a service held at St. John’s College, Cambridge, England since 1956 (the Mander organ of St. Peter’s Church is inspired, in part, by the Mander organ at St. John’s).

Everyone is welcome at this service, and a festive reception follows. There is ample parking in the lots surrounding the church.
