MUSIC @ PLYMOUTH

From its earliest days, music has played an important role in the life of Plymouth Church. The congregation's first minister, Henry Ward Beecher, believed that singing deepened the spiritual connection to worship and encouraged the congregation to raise their voices together in harmony.

A Service of Lessons and Carols | December 14 | 6:00 PM | Sanctuary

Continuing a 93-year-old tradition, Plymouth's holiday gift to the community will be a service of Lessons and Carols, led by the members of Plymouth's Choir. This will be a time during this busy season for everyone to experience God’s hope, peace, joy and love through choral music, congregational songs, and readings, accompanied by a chamber orchestra.

Reception to follow in the Reception Room.
