Epiphany Lessons & Carols and Supper

About the Event

Epiphany Service of Lessons and Carols, followed by supper and chili cook-off

January 6 marks the transition from the 12-day season of Christmas to the Epiphany, a feast of the church, and the beginning of the season that lasts until Ash Wednesday and Lent. As part of our celebration of this feast, we will hold an Epiphany Service of Lessons and Carols in the church. While this type of service–the one at King’s College, Cambridge is especially famous–is familiar to Episcopalians and Anglicans the world over, it’s usually in the context of Christmas, or sometimes Advent. The Epiphany service will celebrate the revelation of Jesus as the son of God, and the sharing of the light of Christ throughout the world.

We will follow the service with a parish supper and chili cook-off. This all-ages event will be very similar to our Wonderful Wednesdays suppers and will be donation-based.

The chili cook-off will be a good-natured competition that also raises additional funds for our music program. Don’t worry–if you compete, you do not need to feed everyone at the parish supper! Folks will enjoy small samples of each batch and “vote” for their favorites by dropping money into cups for each one or by making a donation by credit or debit card. The supper will be provided by the kitchen, as it is on Wednesdays.

If you intend to come to supper, it’s helpful for us to know; here’s a simple RSVP.
