Advent Lessons & Carols

Sunday, November 30 at 4 p.m.

To begin the season of Advent—the church’s time of reflection, preparation, and anticipation for Christ’s coming—plan to attend this year’s service of Advent Lessons and Carols. Building on the tradition of Incarnation’s Festival of Christmas Lessons and Carols, scriptural readings foretelling the mystical Advent prophesies alternate with Advent carols and hymns. Parish Advent Night immediately follows the service.
