Evensong

The Saint Paul’s Choir sings Evensong Sunday, November 11, at 5:30 PM instead of the Celtic service. Evensong, a service of sung evening prayer, finds its roots in the Medieval English church and has become one of the most beloved liturgies of the Episcopal Church.  At Saint Paul’s, the choir sings this beautiful service twice a year.  It is celebrated with the singing of glorious canticles, psalms, songs of praise, and petitions for renewal by the Holy Spirit.   The upcoming Evensong will include music composed by the Reverend Dr. William Dolen including the Preces and Responses, the Magnificat and Nune Dimittis, and the anthem, “I heard the voice of Jesus say.” A reception in Tyler Hall follows Evensong and childcare will be available beginning at 5  PM .
