Mount Calvary Catholic Church in Baltimore, Maryland, is hosting an Advent Lessons and Carols service in the tradition made famous by King’s College, Cambridge: the history of salvation is told, from the Fall to the advent of the Messiah, through nine readings of Scripture that are alternated with carols, hymns and choir music. The service starts at 4 pm this Sunday, December 8, and will be followed by a wine-and-dessert reception; for more information, see the Facebook event page. The church is located at 816 N. Eutaw Street in Midtown Baltimore; freewill donations will be accepted in support of the church’s ministries.
