Loving God,

In this second week of Advent, as the light of hope grows brighter, stir our hearts with the promise of your Son's coming. Cleanse us from our faults, renew our spirits with your mercy, and prepare us to welcome Christ with joy and peace. May we walk humbly in your ways, sharing your light with a world in need.



Amen.

Value Nights Continue Tonight 

Join us nightly as we celebrate the true meaning of Christmas with music, lights and joy.

Known as the world's largest Christmas Choral Festival, more than 150 choirs will perform over the course of 32 nights in the Chapel of Mary, known for its cathedral-like acoustics. 

There are nightly puppet shows and caroling in the pavilion tent, and don't forget the millions of lights, including our walk-thru Christmas tree!

Tonight and tomorrow, take advantage of our final two value nights. Get your tickets now. There will be limited admission on busy nights, so make sure to get your tickets early.
