St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Savannah, Georgia invites you to a candlelit Service of Lessons and Carols, an evening of scripture and Christmas carols that traces the story of humanity's fall and God's promise of redemption through the birth of Christ. By candlelight, choir and congregation alike are drawn into the quiet wonder of the season.

The evening will open with a harp prelude of Christmas carols as worshippers gather. The service alternates nine short scripture readings — "lessons" — with Christmas carols and choral anthems sung by the choir, moving from the story of Creation and the Fall in Genesis through the prophecies of Isaiah to the Nativity in the Gospel of Luke. The format originated at King's College, Cambridge in 1918 and has since become a cherished tradition in churches around the world.

Come welcome the season with music, candlelight, and the words of scripture telling the Christmas story.
