From The Pulpit of DUMC

#41. Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols

Episode Summary

This service has its roots in late 19th century England. It has been made famous by the choir of King's College, Cambridge, who has sung this service every Christmas Eve since 1918. The music changes every year, but the readings remain the same. The readings tell us the story of God's plan for salvation for us beginning with Adam and Eve and continuing until the coming of Christ. It is our hope that you will find the joy of Christmas within your hearts as we lead the familiar carols of the season as well as our anthems.
