In 1964, under the direction of Robert McGill, the Hendrix College Choir began presenting a Service of Lessons and Carols modeled after the one offered annually at King's College in Cambridge, England. The Candlelight Carol Service has since become an
important Hendrix tradition. Each year over 1,200 people travel to the College to experience one of the four on-campus presentations. In addition, the Choir usually takes the service on a brief tour to United Methodist churches in Arkansas and neighboring
states.
