Advent/Christmas services and pageants
The service of Lessons and Carols is beloved in the Anglican and Episcopal churches, and is a special tradition with the Parish Choir of Grace Church-Brooklyn Heights.
This year’s Lessons & Carols, on Sunday, Dec. 16, focuses on the joy and wonder of the Incarnation and Nativity. The choir, under the direction of Paul Richard Olson, sings festive works of Johann Georg Eberling, John Gardner and Peter Warlock, and more contemplative motets of Boris Ord, Egil Hovland, Richard Averre, Arthur Baynon and Charles Wood. Organ works by Buxtehude and Bach are also featured. The service begins at 5 p.m., with a 4:45 p.m. organ prelude.
Grace Church’s Children’s Christmas Pageant is presented the morning of Dec, 16, at 10:30 a.m.
