Above: Nine Old Testament Prophets, all foreseeing the coming of the Christ, can be found in the delicate, lacey carving on the reredos, above the scene with Thomas kneeling before Our Lord and below the cross. The last prophet in the lineup is Malachi (shown above on right), who provides the theme for this year’s EMC. Read more here.

Today’s Choral Evensong is “Festal” because of the Feast of Dedication. Listen to the Rector’s Weekly Message for more about this feast day and the launch of the 2012 EMC.

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.
