Choral Evensong
Sung evening prayers and calming music
On third Sundays Choral Evensong is offered according to the order for Evening Prayer of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer (slightly adapted).
The choir sings most of the service with the congregation joining in with a couple of hymns. The choir also sings a more complicated anthem and the organist plays a delightful postlude to conclude the service.
The service is designed to flow through with little interuption but your service sheet indicates when to stand or sit, and when you are invited to join in. It lasts about 45 minutes.
Occasionally this service is preceded by an informal concert and teas. Please see Events or check the newsletter pages. Occasionally the third Sunday service is a simple Evensong.
