Candlelight Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols

Due to COVID-19, this is a livestream-only event. Watch below.

An amazing start to the Advent season! In the tradition of King’s College, Cambridge, prepare your soul for the Christmas miracle with carols for choir and organ. This event is a long-standing tradition at St. John’s – a “must” to center your soul during the Advent season. Sunday, December 13 at 3:00pm.

The St. John’s Adult and Youth Choirs; Scott Lamlein, choirmaster; Ted Babbitt, assisting organist.
