ADVENT AND CHRISTMAS SERVICES

Sunday, November 30 at 5:00pm
Advent Procession with Carols
As we begin our preparations for Christmas, please join us for our annual Advent Procession with Carols. Through scripture, anthems, and Advent hymns we meditate on the story of the promise of salvation through the birth of Christ. This service is sung by the Choir of Men & Boys, and will include music by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Boris Ord, and Jonathan Vaughn.

Sunday, December 14 at 5:00pm
Benjamin Britten - A Ceremony of Carols
Benjamin Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols is performed by the St Cecilia Choir of Girls, accompanied by harp. During a perilous sea journey from Canada to England amidst World War II, Benjamin wrote the work which sets Middle English poetry to music. With its procession of plainsong themes, dance-like rhythms, and delicate counterpoint, the piece offers multiple unique perspectives on the mystery of Christ’s incarnation. The Ceremony reaches its theological climax with a fierce battle between good and evil, with the music vividly portraying apocalyptic conflict - a reflection of Britten’s own experience at sea. As we navigate through the season of Advent in anticipation of the Savior’s birth, we invite you to immerse yourself in this meditative and mystical celebration of Expectation.

Tuesday, December 16 at 7:00pm
Organ Meditation and Readings on “La Nativité du Seigneur” - the Birth of the Savior
Jonathan Vaughn performs Olivier Messiaen’s epic Christmas meditation on the Nativity of our Lord on our new Harrison & Harrison organ, interspersed with readings from W.H.Auden’s “For the time being: A Christmas Oratorio”.

Sunday, December 21 at 5:00pm
Carols by Candlelight
Join the Combined Choirs of Christ Church Greenwich for Carols by Candlelight (also known as a Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols), inspired by the world-renowned King’s College Chapel in Cambridge, England. In December 1918, a young priest named Eric Milner-White, who had served as a British Army chaplain during World War I, returned to England deeply moved by the devastation he witnessed. He believed that the Church of England required a more imaginative liturgical response to the war. As the newly appointed Dean of King’s College, Cambridge, he adapted an earlier liturgy compiled by Bishop Benson of Truro in 1880. This new service aimed to narrate the story of Christ’s birth and the incarnation of the Word madeesh. Since then, the Service of Nine Lessons and Carols has been sung every year at King’s College on Christmas Eve. We invite you to join us as we retell the timeless story of Christ’s birth in Bethlehem. Consider inviting a friend, as this can be your meaningful Christmas gift to them.

Sunday, December 24 at 10:00pm
Christmas Eve Choral Eucharist
Participate in a traditional, candlelit Christmas celebration of the Mass, featuring readings from the King James Bible. The service will be preceded at 9:30pm by a sung prelude by the renowned Christ Church Choir Alumni. They will be joined in the service by the current teen girls, teen boys, and men in Charles-Marie Widor’s epic Mass for Two Choirs and Two Organs. You won’t want to miss this joyful and seasonal celebration of the birth of Our Savior!
