Advent Carol Service – Sunday 3 December, 6pm
For centuries, Christians have observed a season of preparation for Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ: looking honestly at the pain of the world and recognising that it is marred by violence and greed, but hearing the promise of the Bible that salvation will come to those who ‘dwell in the shadow of death.’ In words from Scripture, in music, and in well-known Advent hymns, we hear the promises of God that one day all will be made new.
Sung by the Cathedral Choir, including music from Handel to Howells, Weir to Warlock.
