The Parish Church of St James’ King Street: The Choir of St James’ | A Service of Nine Lessons and Carols
21 December @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm AEDT

Join us at The Parish Church of St James for our cherished Nine Lessons and Carols service, a beautiful tradition that brings together scripture, music, and community in celebration of the Christmas season. This service follows the classic format introduced at King’s College, Cambridge, weaving together nine readings read by leading personalities from Sydney from the Bible that tell the story of God’s promise and the birth of Christ.
Interspersed with these readings are beloved carols and choral works, sung by our talented choir and congregation, creating an atmosphere of reflection and joy. Whether you are a long-time member or visiting for the first time, this service offers a moment of peace and wonder amid the festive season.
All Welcome.
