​Lessons & Carols Service at Cedar Crest's Interfaith Chapel

The Protestant Community of Cedar Crest, an Erickson Senior Living Community in Pompton Plains, NJ, will hold its 18th Annual Service of Lessons and Carols in the Interfaith Chapel on Sunday, December 14, 2025, at 10:00 a.m.

The Lessons and Carols concept originated at King's College, Cambridge, during World War II and has been broadcast annually on Christmas Eve or Day ever since.

The service features the Protestant choir singing several anthems, and the congregation is encouraged to join in the singing of beloved carols. Readings of scripture provide the Christmas Story starting from the creation in the book of Genesis and Original Sin to the birth of the Christ Child and redemption for His believers.

This is one of the special services held at the community each year, and, as always, anyone from Cedar Crest and its neighboring towns is invited to attend.

The Protestant Community at Cedar Crest is a non-denominational congregation serving the residents of Cedar Crest.

Cedar Crest is a not-for-profit continuing care retirement community (CCRC) managed by Erickson Senior Living. Cedar Crest is situated on a scenic 130-acre campus in Pompton Plains, New Jersey.
