Evensong

Once a month on the first Sunday of the month at 18:00 we hold our Evensong service. We also hold joint services with other churches including Holy Trinity in Headington and St Mary’s Iffley. We are planning more joint events and will publish details here elsewhere. Below is a poster of recent joint services.

Evening Prayer (often called Evensong), in the Anglican Church, is the traditional service when people come to church to worship in the late afternoon or early evening. In cathedrals in Britain and in some of the old university chapels it is a service that is sung by a choir nearly every day of the week (there is usually one day of the week when there is no choir and everything is spoken). In cathedrals it is usually just the choir and the priests who sing, while the congregation listen. There is sometimes one hymn at the end in which the congregation can join in. Evensong in churches will have more singing for the congregation to join in. (Wikipedia).
