Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost | Choral Evensong on October 27, 2024

This week's service includes settings of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis by Herbert Murrill (Evening Service in E), Preces and Responses by Jessica French, Present Yourselves as a Living Sacrifice by James O'Donnell, and Glorious and Powerful God by Charles Wood. Stewardship season is here. Please consider pledging at https://epiphanyseattle.org/about/give/ 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.
