Festival Of Lessons, Carols At St. Mark’s St. Mark’s Episcopal Church of New Milford has announced a Christmas Festival of Lessons and Carols for Saturday, December 18 at 1:00 p.m. at the church, located at 115 Main Street in New Milford. The program is a free gift to the entire community and everyone is invited to attend. The Rev’d Randy Webster, priest at St. Mark’s Church, will officiate. The program will follow the annual Christmas Good News Lunch to be held at 12:00 noon in the Parish House. A Christmas Festival of Lessons and Carols is a format for a service of Christianworship celebrating the birth of Jesus that is traditionally followed at Christmas. The story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus is told in nine short Bible readings from Genesis, the prophetic books and the Gospels, interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols, hymns and choir music. The format was based on an Order drawn up by Edward White Benson, later Archbishop of Canterbury but at that time Bishop of Truro, in Cornwall, for use on Christmas Eve (December 24) 1880. Tradition says that he organized a 10 p.m. service on Christmas Eve in a temporary wooden shed serving as his cathedral and that a key purpose of the service was to keep men out of pubs on Christmas Eve. The original liturgy has since been adapted and used by other churches all over the world. Lessons and Carols most often occur in Anglican churches, and in some Roman Catholic and Lutheranparishes and institutions. However, numerous Christian churches have adopted this service, or a variation on this service, as part of their Christmas celebrations. In the UK, the service has become the standard format for schools' Christmas carol services.
EMCC Announces Holiday Concert The Endless Mountains Children's Choir will present a holiday concert on Sunday, December 19 at 3:00 p.m. at the South Gibson United Methodist Church under the direction of Dr. Christine Plonski Sezer, Founder and Artistic Director. The children will sing beautiful carols from various countries in foreign languages such as Noel Nouvelet (French), Stille Nacht (Silent Night-German) and Lulieze Jezu (Polish), among others. Come and enjoy an afternoon of holiday music, all are welcome! A chicken barbecue fund raiser will also be taking place on December 19. Dinner pick-up is available from 2:00 to 4:30 p.m. For more information call 570-942-0250. The children are raising money for their bus trip for their holiday performance at the capital in Harrisburg. As the choir is totally funded and dependent on donations and fund raising events, the group is very thankful for the support of everyone.
