The Second Sunday After The Epiphany
The Second Sunday After The Epiphany
God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ is the light of the world: Grant that thy people, illumined by thy Word and Sacraments, may shine with the radiance of Christ’s glory, that he may be known, worshiped, and obeyed to the ends of the earth; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The Second Sunday after the Epiphany falls in the midst of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, which began, as it always does, with the Feast of the Confession of Saint Peter on January 18, and ends with the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul on January 25. On the Sunday that falls within this octave, we have a guest preacher, often but not always from outside the Episcopal Church.This year, we welcome Bishop Lindsay Urwin OGS, who also preached this morning at 11am.
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 contemplative. 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 twelve masses at Saint Thomas later this week.
‚ñ∫In this weekly audio message, the Rector speaks about the Conversion of St Paul, which we celebrate not only the feast day itself but also at a special Festal Evensong on January 24.
