Description

"And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger." Continuing a 40-year tradition, St. Paul’s Church in Chestnut Hill is pleased to offer a candlelight Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols for Christmas. The format of this service is a time-honored way to tell the Christmas story through music, scripture, and prayer. Across the world at this season, Anglicans listen to the familiar readings, choral anthems, and join in carols sung by the congregation. A reception will follow, all are welcome. Admission is free, and seating is open. Neither tickets nor registration are required. A freewill offering at the service will benefit the music program at St. Paul’s, or a donation can be made here by clicking on the red button "Reserve a spot".
