Te Deum - Lessons and Carols for Today (St. Mary's)

Lessons and Carols for Today offers a modern twist on the Anglican tradition of interspersing biblical passages with choral and congregational singing. Collaborating with Kansas City poet Natasha Ria El-Scari, Natasha will write and perform new poetry to replace the traditional biblical lessons, delivering modern reflections on the Nativity story through an African American Feminist lens. Te Deum will sing a wide variety of Christmas music, and the audience will have their own opportunity to join in thoughtful and hope-filled singing.
