The Fifth Sunday After The Epiphany
The Fifth Sunday After The Epiphany
Set us free, O God, from the bondage of our sins, and give us,we beseech thee, the liberty of that abundant life which thou hast manifested to us in thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Above: We are delighted to welcome back the distinguished British viol consort Fretwork to accompany the choir at Evensong today. They were with us previously for Choral Evensong in November 2010.
Today at Choral Evensong, Fr Joel Daniels preaches Sermon 2 of our 15-part series on prayer called “Lord, Teach Us to Pray.” The sermon today is on the topic of “Father,” the second word of the Lord’s Prayer. See the complete list of sermons in the series here.
About Choral Evensong: 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, where links to the webcast will be posted during and after the service.
‚ñ∫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∫If you are new to Saint Thomas, new to the Episcopal Church, and/or new to Christianity, consider attending the Rector’s Christian Doctrine Class, which began anew on Tuesday, January 10 and continues on Tuesday, February 7 at 6:30pm.
