The Simpson College holiday tradition of the Festival of Lessons and Carols will take place on Saturday, December 11th. The Festival of Lessons and Carols features the reading of scripture and holiday hymns featuring the Simpson College Choir, and is a tradition that dates back to the 1970’s modeled after the traditional English Christmas celebrations.

Sunday’s performance will be available via live video stream beginning at 2 p.m. at facebook.com/SimpsonCollege/live. Those planning to attend in-person can reserve their seat by registering for free tickets at simpson.edu/LessonsCarols. Masks will be required for those attending a service in Smith Chapel, in accordance with campus policy.
