Lessons and Carols -- Special Advent Service on Dec. 12

We have all, in our different ways, experienced heartache over the past two years in the midst of a world-wide pandemic. The holidays, when we are often expected to keep high spirits, can be difficult. Now, and always, we seek God's strength.

Through Scripture and song, our service of Lessons and Carols this year aims to reassure us of God's eternal promises and Christ's saving grace. We begin in the Old Testament, where God makes a covenant with His people. Nine readings in total build up to a final New Testament reading, where God establishes a new covenant by sending a Savior, Jesus Christ. 

God's deep-rooted love for us has evolved through time but never diminished. Scripture shows us that, in times of trouble, people have questioned God yet kept faith despite those questions. By trusting in God's promises, we witness astounding beauty out of supposed ruin. 

Join us for this Advent service of Lessons and Carols on December 12 at 4:00 p.m. Along with opportunities to sing hymns, you will enjoy performances by the FPC adult choir, bell choir, and APSU students. 

You are also invited to dinner immediately following Lessons & Carols. We will gather in Fellowship Hall to share a holiday meal provided and prepared by our Fellowship Committee. We realize that all may not feel comfortable staying to eat due to COVID restrictions, so we will offer to-go boxes for those wanting to take their meals home.

We are thrilled to offer such a special service in-person this year and cannot wait to fellowship with you. Please share the news about Lessons and Carols at FPC on Dec. 12 at 4:00 with friends and family!
