LESSONS AND CAROLS

The Beaches Campus students performed The Festival of Lessons and Carols on Wednesday, December 14, in the St. Paul’s By-the-Sea sanctuary. During the performance, the Christmas story is told through scripture readings and Christmas songs. Each grade sings a carol together and older students act out the story of Christ’s birth. This longstanding tradition helps to focus students’ hearts on the true spirit of Christmas.

“I look forward to Lessons and Carols each year,” said Leslie Sale, Christian Education teacher. “Our music and theatre programs work together to create a Christ-focused program to help prepare our hearts for the Christmas season. This has been a long-standing tradition that many Beaches families enjoy. Even families who no longer have students attending the school join us to share the joy of Lessons and Carols.” and his wife Amy. Mark shares, “Alaska was awesome, but frustratingly vast! I live in Texas and drive long distances regularly, but Alaska made Texas feel like Rhode Island.”
