Choral Evensong

for 1 hour
St John the Evangelist
Church Lane, Studley TROWBRIDGE Wiltshire, BA14 OEH, United Kingdom

Come and share in the beauty and richness of Choral Evensong, a traditional service of evening prayer shaped by centuries of Anglican worship.

Led by Cantare, the choir sings the psalms, canticles, and anthem, drawing us into prayer through music of depth and splendour. But this is not a concert. We all join together in well-loved hymns, speak the responses, and unite our voices in the Lord’s Prayer and Creed. It is worship offered by the whole congregation.

As the day draws to a close, Evensong gives space to reflect, to listen, and to lift our hearts to God, surrounded by music, Scripture, and shared prayer. Whether you have been to Choral Evensong in the past or are curious to experience it for the first time, you will find a warm welcome and a service that invites you to take part.

St John the Evangelist

Welcome to St John’s, Studley, a church seeking to serve God and our community with warmth, faithfulness, and friendship.

Our Sunday morning worship follows the traditional pattern of Common Worship, with hymns, Scripture readings, prayer, and a sermon that connects God’s Word to everyday life. Most Sundays we celebrate Holy Communion, gathering around the Lord’s Table in reverence and thanksgiving. After the service, we continue our fellowship over tea and coffee in the church hall, because church is not only about worship, but about sharing life together.

During the week, Chat Café meets every Monday and Wednesday from 10:00–11:30am in the Parish Centre. Fresh coffee, homebakes, conversation, and simple companionship are always on offer. Whether you fancy a chat or just a quiet cuppa among friends, you’ll find a warm welcome.

At St John’s, there is no dress code, no insider knowledge required, and no expectation that you have it all sorted. Whether you’ve been part of church life for years, are exploring faith, or simply looking for community, you are very welcome here.
