9 Lessons
and carol service
Step into the warmth and joy of the holiday season with Gracia Montessori’s cherished tradition, the 9 Lessons and Carol Service. Rooted in the spirit of community, reflection, and celebration, this annual event brings together students, families, and staff to honor timeless traditions and share in the magic of the season.
A Timeless Tradition, A Meaningful Message
The 9 Lessons and Carol Service is a beloved tradition that traces its origins back to the lessons and carols service held at King’s College, Cambridge. Rooted in Christian tradition, this service has evolved into a cherished celebration of the holiday season, featuring readings from scripture, choral performances, and congregational singing of beloved carols.
Journey Through the Story of Christmas
At Gracia Montessori’s 9 Lessons and Carol Service, students take center stage as they bring to life the timeless story of Christmas through readings and musical performances.
Each lesson, accompanied by a corresponding carol, unfolds the narrative of the nativity, from the prophecy of the Messiah to the joyous arrival of the newborn King.
The 9 Lessons and Carol Service is a testament to the spirit of unity and community that defines Gracia Montessori. As students, families, and staff come together to share in this special event, we are reminded of the bonds that unite us and the joy that comes from celebrating together as one school family.
While rooted in Christian tradition, the 9 Lessons and Carol Service at Gracia is inclusive and welcoming to families of all faiths and backgrounds. We embrace diversity and celebrate the rich tapestry of traditions that make our school community unique, fostering an environment of respect, understanding, and acceptance for all.
As we gather for the 9 Lessons and Carol Service, we pause to reflect on the true meaning of the holiday season: love, compassion, and the spirit of giving. Through readings, music, and fellowship, we are inspired to spread joy, kindness, and goodwill to all, carrying the spirit of the season with us throughout the year.
Join us as we come together in unity and celebration at Gracia Montessori’s 9 Lessons and Carol Service, embracing tradition, fostering community, and spreading the joy of the holiday season to all.
