The annual Festival of Lessons and Carols is set for Sunday, November 17 at 4 p.m. in Wesley Chapel. The event brings together the campus and community for a heartwarming tradition that marks the beginning of the holiday season.

“The Festival of Lessons and Carols invites the Wesleyan community to experience the story of Christ’s revelation to the world through reflection and song,” said Dean of the Chapel Rev. Jonathan Acord.

Members of the West Virginia Wesleyan College community will be invited to share this story during the program.

West Virginia Wesleyan’s Concert Chorale and Concentus Vocum, conducted by Hughes, will perform many traditional and beloved carols, along with several unique selections.

Following the service, the audience will gather outside for the lighting of the Christmas tree with Dr. James Moore, president of WVWC.

The Festival of Lessons and Carols and tree lighting ceremony are free and open to the public.

Aladdin Food Service will offer a holiday menu to the community in French See Dining Hall from 4:30 to 7 p.m. The cost for community members will be $12.
