Inaugural Las Posadas Prayer Celebration

Christmas Concert
The Lessons and Carols concert format, also called the Festival of Lessons and Carols, is a service of Scripture and song that dates to the late 19th century. In this service, we will listen to nine Scripture lessons which recount the Fall, the promise of a Messiah, the Incarnation and the Great Commission to preach the Good News. Each lesson is followed by a carol or other song that reflects on the lesson's message.
