Susquehanna University invites the community to enjoy its Emmy Award-winning Christmas Candlelight Service at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 3, in Weber Chapel.
The service is free and open to the public.
Since its inception in 1966, the annual Christmas Candlelight Service is one of Susquehanna’s most cherished traditions, as more than 1,500 members of the university and surrounding communities gather in Weber Chapel for candle lighting and carols, as well as traditional readings, songs and prayers in celebration of the season.
The Rev. Scott Kershner, chaplain to the university, will preside over the service and deliver the message. The service will also feature numerous student ensembles from the Department of Music, including the University Choir, University Chorale, Chamber Singers, Handbell Choir and Brass Ensemble.
Nonperishable food donations will be accepted at the door.
WQSU-FM 88.9 will air the service live beginning at 7:15 p.m. and will rebroadcast it at 7 p.m. on Christmas Eve. The radio station can also be streamed via the mobile application 88.9 WQSU, at wqsu.com or from an Alexa or Google Nest device.
