Evensong is a form of worship enjoyed by Christians of all denominations and by anyone who enjoys tradtional choral music. It has been one of the three principal liturgies of the Anglican/Episcopal tradition since 1549. The liturgy is alternately sung or chanted by the choir or clergy and the congregation sings appointed hymns. Psalms are said or sung, followed by readings from Old and New Testaments, punctuated by canticles. It usually lasts 35 to 45 minutes.

If you answer yes to any of these questions, God may be calling you to be a priest or deacon and you should come to the Holy Orders Interest Meeting on April 7 from 3 pm to 5 pm at St. Peter’s Church in Albany. Bishop Love, Canon Haskell, Mtr. Waldron and Fr. Malionek will describe what the ordained ministry is like and will answer your questions about it. Please write Mtr.
