Sunday, December 20
11:15 a.m. | Fulleron Room

James Kealey, Director of Music & Fine Arts, traces the history of the Service of Nine Lessons and Carols, one of the most beloved traditions of the Christmas season.

From its origins in nineteenth-century England to its worldwide popularity through the annual service at King's College, Cambridge, this class explores how Scripture, music, and worship are woven together to tell the story of Christ's birth. Along the way, participants will discover how the service has inspired generations of composers, influenced Christmas worship across denominations, and continues to speak to congregations around the world.

Join us as we uncover the story behind this enduring tradition.
