Choral Evensong March 30, 2025

Speakers:Rev. Will McLeane
Topics:Evensong, Lent

Evensong  – Among the many possible ways of Christian worship, the service of Evensong, also known as evening prayer, is remarkable both for the centuries-old liturgical tradition it represents and for the atmosphere of contemplative devotion that enables it to remain deeply meaningful for worshipers today. The liturgy traces its origins to the daily rites of the medieval church and has been said or sung regularly in its current form since the sixteenth century. All the words have been shaped and refined by long use and by renewed attempts to express the mysteries of God.

This service is being sung by our Chancel Choir with guest director, Tucker Biddlecombe.  Andrew Risinger is the organist, and tenor, Scott Brons, is the cantor.  Rev. Will McLeane is the liturgist reading scripture and offering prayers.
