First Sunday after Pentecost | Choral Evensong on May 31, 2026

This week's service includes settings of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis by Carson Cooman (St. Peter's Cambridge Service), Preces and Responses by Jessica French, Come, Holy Ghost by Thomas Shorter and Glistening Spirit by Jessica French. Sung at the close of day in cathedrals and churches throughout the world, Choral Evensong is a service of Evening Prayer, derived from the ancient offices of Vespers and Compline. The choir sings the traditional evening prayers of the church that have been offered for centuries, while the congregation listens, joins in the hymns, and adds their own prayers to those of the choir. It is an opportunity for peaceful meditation before the start of a busy week.
