An amazing start to the Advent season – whether in person or online! 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.

This concert is free admission, with donations received, no tickets required. A reception follows in the church hall.
