Choral Evensong

At Holy Cross Church, there will be several services across the month which follow the Order of Evening Prayer using the Book of Common Prayer.  Please see The Grapevine for details of services.  These services are often sung with the Choir.

Choral Evensong appeals to many for its combination of beautiful music, a serene atmosphere, and a ritualistic structure that offers solace and spiritual enrichment. It's particularly attractive for its anonymity, accessibility, and opportunity for quiet reflection, making it a popular choice for those seeking a more individual and less demanding form of worship. 

Choral Evensong is a religious service, primarily associated with the Anglican tradition, that features a choir singing composed settings of psalms, canticles, hymns and anthems. It's a sung form of Evening Prayer, typically held in cathedrals and churches. The service includes scripture readings and prayers, with the congregation often participating in listening and some responses.
