The traditional service of Lessons and Carols took on a new look this year, as we celebrated the Feast of St. Nicholas with Stories and Songs of St. Nicholas on Sunday afternoon, December 6.
In a special service written by Kara, readings from Scripture, newspapers, and poems were mixed with hymns and anthems, and narration by Jason, to tell the story of St. Nicholas. We learned the origins of gifts in stockings and gifts down the chimney.
And best of all, St. Nicholas himself presided over the service. Some of the grown-ups kept calling him Richard, so I'm guessing that's St. Nicholas' middle name. St. Richard Nicholas.
Kara played the flute!
Some members of the congregation got to meet St. Nicholas up close and personal.
After which we shared a sumptuous feast.
