One of the most reflective services of the year, “A Meditation on the Passion of Christ with Carols” uses lessons and carols, spirituals, anthems, motets, and congregational hymns to illuminate the Passion of Christ, which is retold using biblical narratives from Mark, Matthew, and John. Our Choir began offering this service in the 1990s, and it has become a staple choral service. We have re-named it “A Choral Meditation on the Passion of Christ” to reflect the variety of music that is sung, although one of the hallmarks of the service is that we include several Christmas Carols which reference the Passion of Christ. This service is a deeply significant way to step back from the hectic pace of life and enter into Holy Week.
