Come join us for Biblical songs and sung prayers in the worship space. Please enter through the Bell Tower Doors (facing E. Main Street).

This is a weekly event.

The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd will host A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. It is based on King's College Cambridge service that includes readings from the Bible As well as beautiful carols sung by the Good Shepherd Music School and the Good Shepherd Choir. The Prelude will begin at 4:30pm and the Service will begin at 5:00pm.

A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols was introduced in 1918 to bring a more imaginative approach to worship. Today it is broadcasted live to millions of people. It was first conceived as a gift to the City of Cambridge, and now, due to popularity and prestige, can only release half of the tickets to the public. 

There will be a EYC (Youth) and Children’s Christmas Party happening simultaneously. The Children’s Party will be from 4:30-6:15pm. The Middle School Party will be from 4:00-5:00pm, and the High School Party will be from 5:00-6:00pm!

The Good Shepherd Choir applied and was granted a one-week choral residency at Wells Cathedral in England for July 18-28, 2025. Wells has one of the oldest and most respected choral foundations in England, so it is a great honor that our application and recording were approved. While in England, our choir will sing for daily services in place of the Wells choirs who will be away for a summer break.

Our choir will also sing three Sunday services at the Church of St. Mary Redcliffe in Bristol, one of the oldest and most beautiful churches in Europe. Our choir director, Mattilda, was the Organ Scholar at St. Mary Redcliffe, and at the nearby Bristol Cathedral, exactly twenty years ago.
