Above: Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. Consider this evening’s second lesson: Luke 12:22-31.

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 passive. 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. 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 sixteen masses at Saint Thomas later this week.

‚ñ∫This is the fifth week of the 2012 Every Member Canvass, through which we raise the money to pay for the annual operating expenses of the Church and Choir School. Read more here and consider making a pledge online. We need everyone who worships with us, including the many thousands from around the globe who have listened to at least one webcast, to consider making a pledge in support of our mission. ‚ñ∫If you haven’t yet made a “tile” for the EMC Tiles Project, today is the day to get it done. Attend a help session before Choral Evensong and/or drop your tile off at the reception desk before you leave. All tiles will be on display at a special EMC Coffee Hour on November 6.

‚ñ∫Following Choral Evensong, Associate Organist Dr. Frederick Teardo plays his second of two recitals commemorating the 40th anniversary of the death of famous organist Marcel Dupr√©. The recitals feature all the works Dupr√© recorded here at St. Thomas in 1957. These works include Widor’s Salve Regina from the Second Symphony and the first movement of the Sixth Symphony, and Dupr√©’s own Prelude and Fugue in G minor and Tryptique. Please join us!
