Advent Week IV: Lessons & Carols - Jon Tyson

Church of the City New York

This Sunday, we celebrated the birth of Jesus with our annual Lessons & Carols service, an ancient church tradition of proclaiming the story of Jesus’ first Advent through hymns and the reading of Scripture. The songs and stories of Christmas that we know so well have toppled kingdoms, delivered people, and transformed history. However, it’s so easy for us to hear them year after year, and yet still miss the things that God is doing in our midst. As His people, we must be hungry for the hope and glory Christmas holds for the world, and celebrate Jesus’ coming with wonder and amazement.

We encourage you to prayerfully consider joining us in giving to our Living the Liturgy campaign at church.nyc/give.
