We will hold a 9 lessons and carols service to wonderfully begin the advent season.  The service is simply 9 scripture readings, accompanied by 9 advent and Christmas hymns.  The service moves through the promises of God in the Old Testament, and their resounding fulfillment in Jesus.  It also lets us do more singing for the holiday season using largely the older advent and Christmas hymns.  The service will be a bit more formal than a usual FRC service.  If you like singing the Christmas hymns and appreciate using them in the context of appropriate scripture readings, this is the service for you!   Bring friends and begin advent with Bible and song.
