Holy Light: A Candlelight Service of Carols

A complete worship service containing scripture readings, meditations by Susan Palo Cherwien, and twelve carols. "Holy Light" was originally conceived as a candle-lighting service (not congregationally as in "Silent Night", but on the altar or in various locations in the Chancel.) Whether or not this concept is utilized, you will find this collection takes a new look at some well-known carols. Readings by Susan Cherwien are taken from "Crossings: Meditations for Worship" and "From Glory into Glory". Approximate performance time 55 minutes.
