Siblings in Christ,
I am pleased to share this lovely service of lessons as carols as performed by the alumni choir from my alma mater, Drake University, conducted by my dear mentor and friend, Dr. Aimee Beckmann-Collier. May this music and these words bring you tidings of comfort and joy during this Christmastide.
