The Chancel Choir of St. John’s Episcopal Church will present its annual Procession of Lessons and Carols at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 9 at the church, 105 State Street, Kirkland.

This beloved Advent tradition, based on the Christmas Eve service at King’s College Cambridge, England, will consist of a procession, bidding prayer with the Lord’s Prayer, Invitatory, nine lessons with appropriate carols or hymns sung by the Chancel Choir and/or congregation, closing prayer, benediction and a hymn.

The evening, which is free and open to the public, is a peaceful departure from the holiday hustle and bustle and will fill your heart with the joy of the season.

A reception will immediately follow the concert. For more information, contact the church office at 425-827-3077 or visit www.stjohnskirkland.org.
