A beloved Dallas tradition since 1959, the entire community is invited to a Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. Local civic, cultural, and religious leaders read Biblical lessons telling of the prophecy and birth of Jesus Christ, and the Incarnation Choir and Choristers sing carols of the season. Due to popular demand, this free service is offered twice: Sunday, December 11 and 18, both at 4 pm. Arrive early to secure a seat before the organ prelude, which begins at 3:30 pm. And you’re invited to stay afterwards for a reception in the Welcome Center, and newcomers will receive a gift.
