FESTIVAL OF LESSONS AND CAROLS
The Festival of Lessons and Carols is a service of Scripture and song that dates to the late 19th century. In this service, we listen to nine Scripture lessons that recount the Fall, the promise of a Messiah, the Incarnation, and the Great Commission to preach the Good News. After each lesson there is a carol or other song that reflects on the lesson`s message and then prayer is offered. On December 8, the Second Sunday of Advent, this service will be held at Mother of Sorrows Church, 6034 South Locust Street, Peninsula, Ohio at 4:00PM. Besides giving the Lord thanks and praise, for it is the Lord`s Day, do come and enter into the time of Advent by participating in this special service. Advent is a time when believers everywhere remember the promise of the coming of the Savior and prepare their hearts to experience its profound and timeless meaning. Advent is also a time to remember His coming again at the End of the Ages. Make Sunday, December 8, the Second Sunday in the Season of Advent, a true Day of the Lord by attending to Him in your house of worship and then joining with others in this Festival of Lessons and Carols. All are most welcome!
