Anticipation, Hope & Peace - Advent Lessons & Carols
Sunday, December 8th at 5:00 PM
Saint Matthew's Episcopal Church, 901 W. Erie St., Chandler, AZ

Join us for a special Advent Lessons and Carols service, a beautiful and reflective tradition to prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ. The service is structured around a series of Scripture readings (lessons) that tell the story of the anticipation and prophecy of Christ's birth, paired with the sounds of handbells, hymns, and carols,  that deepen our experience of the season.

Through these readings and music, we journey from the prophetic words of the Old Testament to the angelic proclamation of Jesus' coming in the New Testament. This cherished liturgy invites us into the themes of anticipation, hope, and peace, allowing us to reflect on the true meaning of Advent amidst the busyness of the season.

Featuring the Choirs and Handbell Choirs from:

• Saint Matthew’s Episcopal Church, Chandler

• Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Chandler

• St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Mesa

• First Lutheran Church, Mesa

Stay after the service for a cozy hot chocolate reception in the courtyard! Bring your family and friends to this special evening of music, reflection, and fellowship as we embrace the season of Advent together. Everyone is welcome!
