Welcome to Choral Evensong

On Sunday 28 January 2024 we will hold our quarterly Benefice Choral Evensong at St Helen's Church. The service will start at 4 pm and will last for approximately 45 minutes, followed by refreshments.

The service is essentially that composed by Archbishop Cranmer in the sixteenth century, but contains texts which are much earlier. An interesting article describing Evensong can be found here.

We hope that you will find prayerful reflection on what is said and sung a worthy offering to God. We live in a busy world; it is our prayer that this act of worship may both glorify God and provide an opportunity for the recharging of spiritual batteries.

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, bow down before him, his glory proclaim. (J.S.B. Monsell)
