The festival choir and handbells of Church of the Advent will offer the traditional Festival of Lessons and Carols at Episcopal Church of the Advent, Washington and Franklin Streets in Cape May. A reception will follow in the Parish Hall.  The program is under the direction of  Thomas Crawford, music director at Church of the Advent.

The Festival of Lessons and Carols follows a very old format from England with readings that recount the prophesies and then tell the story of the birth of Jesus.  Between each of the readings are anthems and carols for the choir and the congregation.
