Choral Evensong - September 22, 2024

We invite you to join us, in-person or online, for Choral Evensong on the 18th Sunday after Pentecost

Led by our choristers, this service is a quiet way to begin the week through music, prayer and reflection. The service also includes a short sermon or reflection on the readings.

The order of service is available to download on our website:

A note about language:
In our worship we use language which is poetic and filled with metaphor and wonder – realizing that any language about God is limited. We use some ancient words which may seem odd, or may seem to refer to God as male, or in terms which elsewhere we might not choose to use. The poetry and the metaphor are there not to restrict or define our understanding of God, but to remind us that our words are never enough to talk about the Divine: instead we use the beauty of the words and music in our worship to help us glimpse just a little of the God beyond all words.
