Join us on Sunday, February 15 at 5:30 pm for Choral Evensong, a service rooted in the Anglican tradition and drawn directly from the Book of Common Prayer. Emerging in the 16th century as the sung evening office of the Church of England, Choral Evensong weaves together scripture, psalms, canticles, and prayers, offered on behalf of the whole community. This contemplative liturgy is sung by the St. John’s Adult Choir and the choristers of the Choir School, featuring music by Josef Rheinberger, Martin Neary, Cecilia McDowall, and Charles Wood. All are welcome to experience this transcendent service at the close of the Epiphany season.
