Evensong for All Souls Day
Saturday, November 2, 2024 5PM
Grace Episcopal Church

Candlelight Anglican evening service with members of Grace Church Choir. Free, reception following worship. We will read the Necrology during this service, please email us the names of those to be remembered. 
 

Evensong is a traditionally Anglican service of beauty and contemplation. Begun by Bishop Thomas Cranmer in the time of King Henry VIII it combined the evening services of Vespers and Compline into one act of worship: Evensong. The choir sings on behalf of the congregation, who pray by actively listening. A musical setting of prayers (Preces and Responses) is always sung, as well as a setting of the evening canticles; the Magnificat (Mary's song), and Nunc Dimittis (Simeon's Song). There is also an anthem, an Anglican chant psalm and a hymn or two.


Evensong is usually only about 45-minutes and is also usually followed by wine and cheese! Please join us as much as you can! All are welcome.
