Join us for Christmas Day. The morning service is great for families and includes well-known carols for congregation, Christmas carols by our professional choristers, sermon by our Rector, and Holy Communion.
The worship service is followed by a festive fireside reception in our Library featuring brunch items and festive beverages.
Today is Christmas Day, the first day of Christmastide! Christians began celebrating the birth of Jesus on December 25 near the beginning of the fourth century. By the beginning of the fifth century, a midnight celebration on Christmas Eve was held in Rome and spread throughout Western Europe. Christmas Masses soon became among the most beloved services of the year for Christians. The gospels of Matthew and Luke both record the story of Christ’s birth. John’s gospel begins with a proclamation on the meaning of it. The mystery of God becoming Man in Christ is a fundamental Christian belief.
