From Darkness to Light: An Advent Procession of Lessons and Carols
2025-12-07 16:45 - 18:30 | Nave, 2747 Fairmount Blvd, Cleveland Heights, OH, 44106, United States
As part of the quiet reflection and joyful expectation that the yearly observance of Advent brings, this candlelit service of scripture, hymns, and anthems moves us from the creation story, to prophecy, to the coming of the Kingdom of God. The liturgy will again be formed around the “O Antiphons,” seven ancient antiphons that are the basis for “O come, O come, Emmanuel.”
The St. Paul’s Ringers begin at 4:45 p.m. Chants, carols, and hymns are sung by the Senior, Youth, St. Cecilia and St. David Choirs. Congregational hymns feature prominently throughout the liturgy. A carillon concert follows. A series of O Antiphon banners designed by Robyn Sand Anderson are processed at the singing of each Antiphon. The offering will benefit our non-profit community partners.

The Feast of the Annunciation
2026-03-25 18:00 - 18:45 | St. Martin’s Chapel, 2747 Fairmount Blvd, Cleveland Heights, OH, 44106, United States
On March 25, the Feast of the Annunciation, join us for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
The Feast of the Annunciation commemorates the moment when the angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would bear God’s Son. This encounter marks the beginning of the Incarnation—God taking flesh in the world.
Her response to God’s call, “Let it be to me according to your word,” reveals a faith that unites trust and understanding. On this day, the church joins together to gives thanks for Mary’s witness and for the mystery of God’s grace made manifest in her willing heart. In her honor, let us reaffirm the Baptismal Prayer, “Give them an inquiring and discerning heart, the courage to will and to persevere, a spirit to know and to love you, and the gift of joy and wonder in all your works.”

Our fellowship will also include a simple but heartfelt service project: writing notes of comfort and encouragement to women staying in shelters or participating in transition programs throughout our greater community—women who need to be reminded that they are seen, valued, and worthy.
Let’s enjoy a meaningful evening of faith, friendship, and loving service! We hope you will join us.
