Festival of Christmas Carols!
Dear Friends,
This Saturday, 10th December, we will hold our annual Festival of Christmas Carols at Thammapratheep Church. All are very warmly invited to join us as the Lannacappella Choir and the All Saints Choristers lead our singing!
As we prepare for Christmas, we will rejoice with the angelic voices of the children in our Choir on Saturday night, and then hear the Gospel Reading of the Angel Gabriel appearing to Mary on Sunday morning!
Christmas is coming!
The readings for the Third Sunday of Advent will be Isaiah 35:1-10, James 5:7-10, and Luke 1:26-37, and we will be singing the hymns The Angel Gabriel; Of the Father’s Love Begotten; Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent; and Angels we have heard on high!
Use this link to join on Zoom on Sunday at 10:30 a.m.
Meeting ID: 548 801 501
