On Sunday, December 11, St. Mark’s is inviting the community to its annual religious celebration of the season.
The Service of Lessons & Carols takes place in Belmont Chapel.
As the school promotes on its website:
The Festival of Lessons & Carols is a service that date backs to 1880 in the Anglican communion, and it became a fixture in the Episcopal Church in the early 20th century. At St. Mark’s, a service of Lessons & Carols was first presented seventy years ago, and the tradition continues to this day.
The service includes readings by St. Mark’s School students and community members. Carols are performed by the School Choir and Orchestra.
The congregation also joins in to sing several hymns.
The service is scheduled to begin at 4:00 pm. But you should probably get there early, because seating is limited.
