On December 4 we will celebrate traditional worship at 11 AM with a Service of Lessons and Carols for Advent.  This service, different from our Lessons and Carols for Christmas on Christmas Eve, will be based around the seven ancient “O Antiphons.”  Each of the antiphons highlights a different Messianic name for Christ from the Old Testament.  It is a more mystical and introspective service than its Christmas counterpart, and really helps us to focus on the prophetic news of the coming of Christ.
