Advent, the season in which the Church observes the beginning of her liturgical year, marks the coming of Christ Jesus—not only his first coming at Christmas long ago, but also his second coming at the end of time.

We invite you to join us for this candlelight service as we read the great texts of scripture and sing hymns and carols that reflect on these great mysteries.

Music includes:

Matin Responsory Brightwell
And the glory shall be revealed Handel
A Song of Peace Sir Charles Villiers Stanford
People look East Steel
The King shall come when morning dawns Alistair Coleman
Magnificat from the Evening Service in G major Stanford
Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts Purcell
Light of the world Sir Edward Elgar
Dieu Parmi nous Olivier Messaien
