Mother's Day Choral Evensong
To celebrate Mother's Day, join us on Sunday, May 10th, at 5:30pm for our monthly service of Choral Evensong, preceded by an organ prelude at 5:15 pm.
This beautiful, contemplative liturgy features sung prayers, psalms, and evening canticles—the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis—along with an introit, anthem, and hymn. It is a service where music and prayer flow seamlessly, offering a moment of peace and reflection to close your Sunday.
