Mark the beginning of Advent and the new church year with a beautiful candlelit service of scripture and song. Presented by the Choir of St. John the Divine and the Preparatory Choir, with readings led by members of our church family, this service of Advent hymns and choral works invites us into a season of spiritual expectation as we reflect on the prophecies and promises of Christ's coming. Join us immediately afterward in Sumners Hall to celebrate the season and the important role our St. John the Divine choirs play in our church's life. Cookies, coffee, and Christmas festivities for all!
