THE ADVENT SERVICE: Rejoice in Hope!

YDS students, faculty, and staff are invited to come together on the evening of Wednesday, December 2, for the School’s traditional Advent Service. 

Titled “Rejoice in Hope,” this year’s service will be held virtually on Zoom Webinar. 

The Advent Service is the largest Marquand Chapel event each year and will mark the end of a challenging and unusual semester. As in years past, the service will be highly creative and draw in a wide range of contributions from the YDS community. Through scripture, song, and the arts, we anticipate the coming of Christ.
