The Greening, and The Festival

After worship this morning, our parish family got together and prepared Christ Church for Christmas - we call it "The Greening of the Church." Come and see the beautiful transformation for yourself, as we present our Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols in the New Brick Sanctuary later this afternoon.

Christ Church presents this service each year, a truly remarkable gathering whose origins date back to the late 19th century in England. The glorious carols, anthems, and hymns are led by our wonderful choir and interspersed with Bible passages, readings, dances, and much more. It's truly a beautiful celebration of the season, and should not be missed.

We will host a reception with beverages and hors d'oeuvres before the service, so gather with us in the New Brick Narthex at 5:00. We will then enter the sanctuary at 6 p.m. for an evening of joyful expression, in word and song, of the greatest story ever told.
