The 10th annual Candlelight Service of Lessons and Carols is set for 7 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 13, in Denison University's Swasey Chapel (200 Chapel Drive). A Lessons and Carols Choir comprised of students studying in the music department, along with the Tehillah Gospel Music Ensemble, will perform special music. The event is free and open to the public.

Jointly sponsored by the Center for Religious and Spiritual Life and the Department of Music, the service was inaugurated in 2000 and is now a Christmas celebration for the university and a seasonal event for the local community. Preceded by a week of tower bell concerts, the service will include biblical readings, processions and congregational carols.

Mark R. Orten, director of religious and spiritual life and university chaplain, and Kevin N. Wines, liturgist and conductor, will preside at the service. Scott Hayes, organist at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Granville, will play and lead the singing of the congregational carols.
