All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel (which means “God with us”). Matthew 1:22-23
The Vellore Christian Medical College (CMC) Foundation invites you to join us for a celebration of Word, Song and Prayerful Reflection for Christmas.

Christmas Festival of Lessons and Carols

December 21st, 2022 at 9:30 AM EST | 8:00 PM IST

Please join us for our virtual Christmas Festival of Lessons and Carols as we celebrate God’s indescribable Gift and His love for all humanity! Together we will meditatively reflect on readings from Scripture and enjoy music commemorating the season of Christmas. At this event, we will listen to passages that bring light to the birth of Jesus Christ and the fulfillment of prophecy. Each lesson, homily, and prayerful reflection will be interspersed with music.

We are honored to have individuals representing our faith-based organizations, the Vellore CMC Foundation Board, and CMC leadership who will bring forth Scripture readings, homily, and reflective prayer.
