The children and adult choirs of St. Hubert Church in Langley will present a Festival of Lessons and Carols for Advent at 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 20 at the church, located on the corner of De Bruyn and Third Street in Langley.

The meditative service of readings, hymns and anthems aims to provide a time of reflection and renewal during a very busy time of the year, according to a Friday news release.  Lessons and Carols, as it is informally called, is patterned after the Christmas Eve observance at King’s College in Cambridge, England. It has become an annual holiday tradition for thousands of families in the Puget Sound region.

The program is free to the public, however an item of non-perishable food for the Good Cheer Food Bank will gladly be accepted at the door.

For details, call the church office at 360-221-5383.
