Christmas Lessons & Carols 2025
Sunday December 21, 2025 at 5:00pm
Fourth Sunday of Advent
“And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger.”
Luke 2:16
The candlelight Carol Service is a tradition going back more than 40 years at St. Paul’s. Once again we are pleased to offer the service of Nine Lessons and Carols — a time-honored way to tell the Christmas story through music, scripture, and prayer. Across the world, Anglicans listen to the familiar readings, choral anthems, and join in carols sung by the congregation.
A reception in the Parish Hall will follow, all are welcome.
