Join us during the 8:30 and 11 AM worship services this Sunday, December 22 for A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. Based on ancient sources, the service was composed for Christmas Eve in 1880 by the Right Reverend Edward White Benson, then Anglican Bishop of Truro, England. The Nine Lessons given have been customarily used in recent years at King’s College, Cambridge. The scripture lessons lead followers of Christ from the fall of mankind to mankind’s ultimate salvation through Christ. Each carol is chosen to illuminate the scripture lesson that precedes it. The Chancel Choir, Junior Choir, Providence Handbell Ringers, and liturgists will present the Christmas story through scripture and song.
