Advent Lessons & Carols

The service of Nine Lessons and Carols began in 1880. It was started by Bishop Edward White Benson as a way to attract the Christmas crowds away from the pubs and into the pews. After Benson’s appointment as Bishop of Canterbury in 1883, the service gained a wider following throughout the U.K.

Our service on Sunday, December 7 at 7:00pm offers us a time of reflection and anticipation during the Advent season; as White wrote: “not to celebrate Christmas, but to expect it.” A festive reception to follow.
