Choral Evensong

Monthly. Every First Sunday at for 1 hour
St John the Evangelist, Spitalgate with Earlesfield
Station Road East, Spitalgate, Grantham, NG31 6HX, United Kingdom

Choral Evensong is the Church's ancient evening prayer, offered in the rich tradition of English cathedral and parish church music. Emerging from the English Reformation, it brought the monastic daily offices of Vespers and Compline together into a single service, making the daily prayer of the Church accessible to all. Here, in this church, we continue that legacy: we believe everyone should be able to pray, to lift their souls in the beauty of holiness through the offering of music, the reading of scripture, and the recitation of psalms and prayers.
