For 60 years, Rooke Chapel and the Department of Music have collaborated to offer three Christmas Candlelight Services every December, bringing in hundreds of students, faculty, staff, and community members each night.
The annual Christmas Candlelight Service is modeled on the King's College Christmas Eve Service of Lessons and Carols.
