Evening prayer had its genesis over one thousand years ago. The inspirational Evensong service dates to the reformation – words and ceremony from the 1549 Anglican Book of Common Prayer, music composed during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
Past and present will blend in a special “end of day” choral service. With organist Graeme Arbuckle, the Holy Trinity Chancel Choir, and liturgy sung by Reverend Andrew Wilson and Archdeacon Jennifer Gosse.
Reverend Andrew Wilson, Rectory of Holy Trinity, extends an invitation to Evensong not only to the congregations of the Anglican Churches of Grenville North, but also to all seeking inspiration in the traditions, words and music of Evensong.
As early evening sunlight filters through the stained glass windows “step into history” at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, 105 Church Street, Merrickville on Sunday March 5 at 4 pm.
