Our worship this Christmas Eve is an adaptation of the Lessons and Carols service traditionally held at King's College, Cambridge, England, on December 24th every year. "Lessons and Carols" was first held on Christmas Eve, 1918. It was planned by Eric Milner-White, who at the age of thirty-four had just been appointed Dean of King’s College after experience as an army chaplain.
Our focus, “The Greatest Gift,” is found in every lesson and song. The progression of lessons and songs will gradually reveal more and more about this greatest gift. Imagine yourself as someone who over centuries is trying to figure out the nature of God’s gift. Or, if the readings are not familiar to you, let the meaning of God’s gift become clearer and clearer to you as you hear each lesson and sing each song.
By trusting what God’s gift means for us, we look forward to seeing that gift in heaven where God’s “praise will sound” for all eternity!
