Lessons and Carols

St. Dunstan’s will again host our choir in a service of Nine Lessons and Carols at 6:00pm on Sunday, December 6.  The service is free and open to the public.

The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols was first held at King’s College, Cambridge, on Christmas Eve 1918. It was planned by Eric Milner-White, who had just been appointed Dean of King’s Chapel after experience as an army chaplain in the First World War.  The service alternates lessons from scripture with hymns/anthems by the choir and is beloved Episcopal/Anglican tradition for many.
