Dr. David Smazik leads a candlelight service of Nine Lessons and Carols with readings that present the Christmas story from Genesis through Luke.  Carols, choral and instrumental music is provided by the Ringers-on-the-Green (ROGS), Chancel Choir, Cantate Omnes, Cantus and a brass quartet. Pre-service music is provided by the Ringers-on-the-Green and organist Ryan Kennedy. Music directed by Matt Webb.
