Evensong
Join us on Sunday, November 3, at 6 PM for a traditional Evensong service, a treasured part of the Anglican tradition. This peaceful evening prayer service blends choral music, scripture readings, and prayers, offering a time for reflection as the day draws to a close.
The service is a contemplative experience where the congregation participates by listening and joining in on hymns, the Creed, and the Lord’s Prayer. As our choirmaster, David Williamson, explains, “The service is a conversation that has been going on between the choir and the Almighty for centuries, and the congregation is there to eavesdrop on a little part of that.”
Whether you’re familiar with Evensong or experiencing it for the first time, come and be part of this timeless tradition. All are welcome to share in this special service.
We look forward to welcoming you!
