Join us for our worship service of Christmas & Epiphany Lessons & Carols for The Second Sunday after Christmas Day, with Tim Hall leading the service and Eileen Cawood leading us in many of our favorite Christmas Carols.
We'll hear the rest of the Christmas story, from the visitation of the shepherds and the wise men, to the naming of Jesus in the temple with the blessings of Simeon and Anna, to the Holy Family's flight to Egypt and their return to Nazareth, to the fulfillment of God's promise to humanity. All the readings are interspersed with familiar carols and hymns.
Our LIVE service begins at 11am. Masks are now optional for in-person worship, but are still available in the Narthex, with hand sanitizer stationed throughout the church.
If you are more comfortable continuing to keep your distance, we understand.
You can still join us for online worship, via Zoom, using the following link:

The Collect of the Day:
Almighty God, you have poured on us the new light of your incarnate Word: Grant that this light, enkindled in our hearts may shine forth in our lives. Amen.
Eternal Father, you gave to your incarnate Son the holy name of Jesus to be the sign of our salvation: Plant in every heart, we pray, the love of him who is the Savior of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
Readings for this service are taken from the Gospels of Luke and Matthew
A Bidding Prayer: Dear People of God: In this Christmas Season, let it be our duty and delight to hear once more the message of the Angels, to go to Bethlehem and see the Son of God lying in a manger. Let us hear and heed in Holy Scripture the story of God’s loving purpose from the time of our rebellion against him until the glorious redemption brought to us by his holy Child Jesus, and let us make this place glad with our carols of praise Amen.
