About this Event
Kick off the holiday season with the Advent Festival of Lessons & Carols!
Join the festivities on the first Sunday of Advent, December 1st, at 5 p.m., as the historic All Saints' Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills transforms into a festive haven of music and joy.
The Advent Festival of Lessons & Carols is a seasonal favorite, featuring enchanting choral performances, timeless carols, and scripture readings that illuminate the Christmas story. This musical journey, under the direction of Canon Dr. Craig Phillips, promises to captivate hearts and set the tone for a joyous holiday season.
Adapted over a century ago at King’s College in Cambridge, the service of Lessons & Carols has become one of the most beloved services throughout the Anglican world. The entire community is welcome to immerse themselves in the beauty of the season and experience the magic of this cherished holiday tradition! Retreat from the hectic pace of the season and join with the congregation and choir as we await the coming Prince of Peace.
The event is free and open to the public. A free-will offering and donations will be taken.
Bring family and friends to experience the magic of Advent season during a candle-lit evening in the heart of Beverly Hills.
A festive reception will follow on the inner courtyard.
