St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, St. Louis, is very pleased to welcome the British a cappella group Apollo5 who will collaborate with the St. Peter’s Choir in this service. The music is led by David Sinden.

This Advent service is modeled on a service held at St. John’s College, Cambridge since 1956 (the Mander organ of St. Peter’s Church is inspired, in part, by the Mander organ at St. John’s).

Music old and new proclaims Advent themes throughout the service’s four sections: 1) the Message of Advent, 2) the Word of God, 3) the Prophetic Call, 4) the Christ-Bearer. The pattern of this service reflects the season’s growing anticipation, both of the first coming of Christ and of that day when the prayer “Thy Kingdom come” is finally and fully answered.
