Festival of Lessons and Carols

Festival of Lessons and Carols

Join St. John the Evangelist on Friday, Jan. 3, at 7p.m. in the Parish Activities Center for the Festival of Lessons and Carols, a service of scripture and song that dates to the late 19th century. In this service, we listen to nine scripture lessons which recount the fall, the promise of a Messiah, the Incarnation, and the Great Commission to preach the Good News. Each lesson is followed by a carol or other song that reflects on the lesson’s message and a brief prayer. Join us for a light holiday reception afterwards.
