Bishop Peter Fenty leads our Choral Eucharist worship on this Christmas Eve, December 24, 2025, with Music Director Zacharia Dekker, and Lay Reader and Intercessor Audi Geadah Ogley. The lessons are read by Carol McLean (The Book of Isaiah 9:2-7) and Todd Hillhouse (Titus 2:11-14). Zach cantors the verses to Psalm 96, while the congregation responds with, “All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God”, from the George Black setting. The Gospel is from Luke (2:1-14). Our hymns this Christmas Eve: ‘Away in a Manger’ (Common Praise #126); ‘Shepherds in the Field Abiding’ (#135); and, as our Recessional, ‘Good Christians All, Rejoice’ (#153). During Communion the Choir sings the Anthem, “Sing With the Angels!”, by Don Besig and Nancy Price.
