Description
Nine Lessons and Carols for Ukraine Please note that chapel doors open at 7.00 PM however the service commences at 7.30 PM .
The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols is a service traditionally celebrated near Christmas Eve. It is the story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus. The story is told by 9 readings interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols, hymns, and choir anthems.
This year we are proud to have Revd Laura Wheatley Downs conducting the service with Karen Phillips, Director of Music, and The Cecilia Singers supported by Organist Stewart McSweeney. They will create the Spirit of Christmas in the traditional way.
The service takes place in the magnificent Chapel of the Holy Spirit whose foundation stone was laid by in 1861 by HRH Prince Albert and built by 1863.
At Rotary, we are deeply concerned by the escalating loss of life and humanitarian hardship caused by the war in Ukraine. As the winter sets in this year's service is dedicated to raising urgently required funds for the humanitarian Rotary International Kyiv Shelter Project to provide shelters to house Internally Displaced People (IDPs) as a result of the current hostilities.
