For many years, the choir of Holy Redeemer has offered a service of Lessons and Carols to the congregation during the month of December. Last year, we changed the format to include more congregational singing in order to familiarize people with the new hymnal that had just arrived in the parish.

Beyond the carols in the hymnal, the choir will a few selections on its own, including one of my own carols,
To Shepherds Abiding. You can hear last year's performance by clicking on the picture below.
If you are in the Orlando area, I highly encourage you to come and hear one of the many splendid musical programs that will take place here. (Candlelight at Epcot isn't the only local musical offering during the season.) If you are somewhere else, I hope there are as many musical delights for you to feast upon in your area as there will be here.
In the spirit of advent, I wish you all the best in your holiday preparations!
