Join the choir of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church for a service of Choral Evensong for All Saints at 5 p.m. on Sunday, November 2. The sung service of evening prayer offers an opportunity for reflection and contemplation.Worship in the beauty of solemn holiness as the choir sings the "Preces and Responses" of American composer Katherine Burk Webb and two of the crown jewels of our Anglican heritage -- “Magnificat and Nunc dimittis in C" of Charles Villiers Stanford and Edgar Bainton’s anthem “And I Saw a New Heaven.”
The choir will also sing “The Road Home” of Stephen Paulus as we remember those saints who have gone before us. Finally, we'll feature an anthem of Craig Phillips (All Saints Episcopal, Beverly Hills) that’s a serene choral setting of one of the Evening Collects.
Keep watch, dear Lord.
Keep watch with those who work,
or watch, or weep this night,
and give your angels charge over those who sleep.
Tend the sick, Lord Christ;
give rest to the weary, bless the dying,
soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted,
shield the joyous, and all for your love's sake.
Keep watch, dear Lord, keep watch. Amen.
--Book of Common Prayer (1979)
Come for the music. Stay for the fellowship! A festive reception will follow.
