Collectively, we are all experiencing a Christmas like no other. As a Collaborative, we grieve the loss of the sights and sounds of literally thousands of parishioners flooding our doors to celebrate the birth of our Lord. Yet, when placed in the light of Christ’s own appearance with us here, we know: Emmanuel, God with Us. The Music and Pastoral Ministers of St. John – St. Paul Collaborative have joined together to offer you a Christmas Blessing. We know how much singing Carols is an essential part of the Christmas experience, and while we aren’t able to sing together we are able to sing with wild abandon in our own homes!
On Friday, December 18 at 5:00pm A Virtual Service of Lessons and Carols will launch on our website and be sent to everyone on our email list. (It will be available to stream on demand any time after as well.) This program was put together with a vision of your families gathered around your screens listening to God’s word, and singing the comforting carols that spell Christmas. So snuggle in. Light a candle. Nibble your favorite Christmas cookies. Turn on the lights on the Christmas tree… watch for the email in your inbox and… Sing! (Be sure to sign up for our email list if you haven’t already!)
