This bilingual service will feature a vocal ensemble and instrumental music based on the Spanish carol En el Frio Invernal (Cold December flies away).

The Chancel Choir and the Preucil Family Musicians will lead our worship and Rosalyn Wesley will sing “O Holy Night,” accompanied by Denise Calderon, flute and Stephanie Preucil, violin. Garth Edmundson’s dazzling Toccata on Vom Himmel Hoch (based on “From Heaven Above to Earth I Come,” another Lutheran hymn) will send us out into the world reminding us of Christ’s birth.

11:00 p.m. | Traditional Carols and Candlelight Service with a vocal ensemble and Communion
Martin Luther’s chorale Vom Himmel Hoch (From Heaven Above to Earth I Come) will bookend the service. The prelude will be the titanic Canonic Variations on Vom Himmel Hoch by J.S. Bach (one of the very last pieces he ever wrote for the organ), and the postlude will be Garth Edmundson’s Toccata on Vom Himmel Hoch. A Vocal Ensemble will lead worship, Rosalyn Wesley will sing, and we will have communion.
