CELEBRATE THE SEASON'S END WITH US
Sunday, May 10 at 5:00 pm
Join us for the final Second Sunday Choral Evensong of our inaugural season, led by the St. John’s Choir, and featuring music of Henry Loosemore, Katherine Webb, T. Tertius Noble, and Zachary Wadsworth. Choral Evensong, a contemplative liturgy, is one of the treasures of the Anglican tradition. At this service, the congregation participates mostly by allowing the clergy and choir to speak and sing on its behalf. Many find this frees them, in a busy world, to offer to God their own thoughts and prayers. A reception with light refreshments follows in Shears Hall. Bring a friend!
