Fourth Advent Candle Lighting at St. Nicholas - 12/08/19
On Sunday, December 08, the fourth candle of the Advent Season Wreath was lit by Mathias aided by his Mom, Vanessa Gahles. Mathias also read the student verse, and his Mom read the adult scripture reading.
The fourth candle is white to signify peace, and reminds us of the Angel’s message to the shepherds, “Peace on earth and goodwill toward men”. The congregation and choir, directed by Reader/Choir Director Nick Lezinsky, and lead by Fr. Matthew sang the pre-Advent carol, “Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus”.
