On Sunday, November 1, at 5 p.m., the Adult Choir will present a service of choral evensong. Music will include the evening canticles by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Preces and Responses by Richard Pantcheff, and anthems by Jane Cox and Robert J. Powell. The The Rev. Jeffrey Packard will be the officiant. Organist Gwen Catchen will play music by Johann Pachelbel and others.
Evensong, like all forms of liturgical worship, has elements of drama and ritual that nourish the spiritual life of all of us. It is traditionally mostly sung by a choir, with the full congregation participating throughout in thoughtful prayer, allowing the music to touch us and to draw us closer to the presence of God.
A reception will follow in Room 325.
