Last year was STANDING ROOM ONLY! So we decided to add a second Lessons and Carols on Sunday afternoon. Now you have a choice between Saturday evening, December 14th or Sunday afternoon, December 15th.
Lessons and Carols tells the Christmas story beginning with the fall of humanity (Adam and Eve), then the promise of a Messiah, the announcement to Mary, the shepherds, the three kings and finally the birth of Jesus. All told in nine short readings from Genesis, Isaiah and the Gospels, interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols and choir anthems.
Hear the angelic voice of soprano Michelle Areyzaga singing “O Holy Night,” the Grace Anglican Fellowship choir and the Ars Viva Strings conducted by Fr. Alan Heatherington.
You will love the anthems of John Rutter, Philip Stopford, Will Todd, and others with congregational singing of your favorite carols:
Silent Night, Come Thou Long-Expected Jesus, Away in a Manger, and O Come All Ye Faithful.

PAST EVENTS:

A festival of Lessons and Carols - December 23, 2023
STANDING ROOM ONLY
Our Lessons and Carols service was standing room only on Saturday night, December 23rd. There were late comers who had to sit in the balcony with the choir and some who stood in the back of the church because there was no place left to sit downstairs.
A beautiful service was appreciated by all. Our choir of 18 singers, harp and keyboard (pictured below) brought glory to God in telling the Christmas story in Word and music along with excellent lay readers.

All-Church Picnic 2023
Group Night at Ravinia
Nashotah House Alumni luncheon
On Saturday, June 24th, we hosted a presentation by the Dean of Nashotah House Theological Seminary, Dr. Garwood Anderson, at the American Legion Post in Libertyville. After a delicious lunch catered by Maggiano's Italian Restaurant, Dr. Anderson gave a very interesting and informative presentation of the state of theological education today and where Nashotah House fits in the overall picture. We were inspired to continue to support the work of this great institution as they train future clergy in the orthodox faith.
