The Sunday Of The Resurrection: Easter Day

The Sunday Of The Resurrection: Easter Day


Almighty God, who through thine only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened unto us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord's resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by thy life-giving Spirit; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the same Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

3:00 p.m.

Solemn Evensong on Easter Day is preceded by an Organ Recital by Benjamin Sheen. Consider arriving by 2:30pm. This will allow you to hear the entire recital and to secure good seats for Evensong. Solemn Evensong does not include a Eucharist. If you would like to make your Holy Communion on Easter Day, consider attending the 8am or 11am Solemn Eucharist of the Resurrection.

About 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∫If you are new to Saint Thomas and want to learn more, or if you are interested in baptism or membership, don’t hesitate to contact us to set up a time to meet in person. We would like to get to know you.
