"Lessons & Carols" | December 30, 2018
The idea of reading scripture lessons and singing carols in a house of worship likely began in 1878 in the city of Truro, England. A tradition of such continued more formally in a wooden building in 1880. The now familiar service of Nine Lessons and Carols was first held in the chapel (completed in 1536) at King’s College, Cambridge on Christmas Eve 1918. The service has been held for 100 years and is heard around the globe on radio. The service can be heard online as well. Since 1919, the first song sung has been Once in Royal David’s City begun with the voice of one chorister. The main theme is to retell the loving purposes of God as seen through the windows and words of the Bible. We celebrate the anniversary today so that we may well know the purpose of God’s salvation to tell to all around us. On Sunday, December 30, 2018, in the Sanctuary of St. Paul's United Methodist Church, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
