BRATTLEBORO — The public is warmly invited to attend the beautiful service of Advent Lessons and Carols at St. Michael's Episcopal Church on Sunday, Dec. 15. The service begins at 4 p.m. and lasts slightly less than an hour.
The Service of Lessons and Carols alternates readings from Scripture with hymns, anthems, and prayers. Each year's selection of music reflects a new spirit, providing a fresh look at this season of hope and waiting.
In addition to seasonal Advent carols and hymns, the 28 men and women of the St. Michael's choir, under the direction of music director Susan Dedell, will sing music by Morten Lauridsen, Jacques Arcadelt, Geoffrey Shaw, and Richard Rodney Bennett.
The event is free, and the entire community is welcomed to St. Michael's Episcopal Church Sanctuary, hung with fresh evergreens. The church, on the corner of Bradley Avenue and Putney Road, is fully accessible.
