Choral Evensong

Sunday, October 23, 2011
The Nineteenth Sunday After Pentecost
4:00 p.m.

Above: Who is my neighbor? At Saint Thomas, we have lots of neighbors every Sunday for starters, with many more soon on the way for Advent and Christmas. Today’s second lesson is Luke 10:25-37.

Based on the services held daily in the medieval Church, Choral Evensong as arranged in the Book of Common Prayer of the Anglican Church has been sung regularly since the Sixteenth Century. Many people who are new to worship at Saint Thomas prefer to come to Choral Evensong because it is relatively passive. The service includes readings (just as would occur at Evening Prayer) and prayers led by a priest. An anthem as well as a setting of the Magnificat and the Nunc dimittis are sung by the choir. Read more about Choral Evensong here, or view the Choral Evensong Service Card posted to the bottom of this page. There is no Mass following Choral Evensong on Sundays. If you would like to make your Holy Communion for the week, consider attending one of the morning Eucharists, or else at any of the other sixteen masses at Saint Thomas later this week.

‚ñ∫This is the fourth week of the 2012 Every Member Canvass, through which we raise the money to pay for the annual operating expenses of the Church and Choir School. Read more here and consider making a pledge online. We need everyone who worships with us, including the many thousands from around the globe who have listened to at least one webcast, to consider making a pledge in support of our mission.

‚ñ∫If you haven’t yet made a “tile” for the EMC Tiles Project, now is the time. There’s just one week left to turn them in (or mail them in, regardless of where you live). All tiles will be on display at a special EMC Coffee Hour on November 6.

‚ñ∫Following Choral Evensong, Associate Organist Dr. Frederick Teardo plays his first of two recitals commemorating the 40th anniversary of the death of famous organist Marcel Dupr√©. The recitals will feature all the works Dupr√© recorded here at St. Thomas in 1957. These works include Franck’s Pi√®ce h√©ro√Øque and the Three Chorals, Widor’s Salve Regina from the Second Symphony and the first movement of the Sixth Symphony, and Dupr√©’s own Prelude and Fugue in G minor and Tryptique.
