Eternal Light: An All Saints' Worship Service

To commemorate All Saints’ Sunday, on November 3 at 2:30 p.m. the choirs from Central, Morningside, and Covenant Presbyterian churches will present Eternal Light: An All Saints Worship Service. This afternoon service of liturgy, poetry, and music will be a beautiful way to remember our loved ones who
have gone before us. The centerpiece of the program will be Howard Goodall’s “Eternal Light: A Requiem, scored for choir, soloists, organ, piano, and harp.” This modern work reflects on the words of the Latin Mass by juxtaposing them with poems in English, and in doing so acknowledges the unbearable loss we face when a loved one passes. At the same time, it addresses our suffering and endurance, a Requiem focusing on the consequences of interrupted lives.
