Sixth Sunday after Pentecost | Choral Evensong on July 5, 2026

This week's service includes a plainsong setting of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis, Preces and Responses by Malcolm Archer and Suscepit Israel by J.S. Bach. 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.
