Traditional Anglican Evensong (sung Evening Prayer) is a beautiful, and in this age, relatively unusual act of worship. Based on the services held daily in the medieval Church, Choral Evensong as arranged in the Book of Common Prayer has been sung regularly since the sixteenth century. It consists of the distinctive parts of the ancient services of Vespers and Compline - including the “Magnificat,” the canticle appointed for Vespers, and the “Nunc dimittis” appointed for Compline. Many people who are new to worship at Christ Church enjoy the contemplative feel of Evensong.
Choral Evensong typically occurs on the third Sunday of the month - from September through May - at 5PM, sung by the Church Choir and often followed by a reception.
