Our moving Choir Anthem the First Sunday of Advent, “There Is A Yearning” is surely foretaste of next Sunday evening’s Lessons and Carols, the Second Sunday of Advent, as our Choir is joined by members of the Los Angeles Opera and the Los Angeles Master Chorale for Anthems interspersed by hymns sung by the gathered, selected Advent Scripture readings, and the always remarkable power of our Aeolian-Skinner/Rosales Pipe Organ.
Organist and Choirmaster Robert Hovencamp and extraordinary vocalists will join this traditional Liturgy to engage our spirits in soaring worship.
“Sweet and Savory” will cater our Reception following Advent Lessons and Carols, with excellent wine and other beverages again provided by parishioner Robert Packer.
Venite Adoremus Dominum,
