SUMMARY:Choral Evensong at Old North
DESCRIPTION:The Old North Church Congregation is pleased to offer traditional Choral Evensong on June 25 and July 3\, 2026. Each service will be held at 6:00 p.m. and lasts approximately 45 minutes. \nThe July 3 service will feature historic prayers for the nation on the Eve of the 250th Anniversary of American Independence. \nWorship services at Old North are open to all without charge. Free-will offerings are collected in support of the church’s ministries. Visitors are always welcome. Pre-registration is helpful for planning\, but not required. We seek to welcome all\, in keeping with our mission as a House of Prayer for All People. \nAbout Evensong \nAmong the liturgical treasures of the Anglican tradition\, Evensong dates to the Church of England’s first Book of Common Prayer\, composed by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer in 1549. Evensong was shared with the Episcopal Church following the American Revolution. \nCombining scripture readings\, sung canticles and psalms\, choral anthems\, and richly worded prayers\, it is a favorite in cathedrals and parish churches alike at the close of the day. Its particular choral style is uniquely characteristic of the Anglican Church and draws its origins from the sung liturgies of monastic communities of the early centuries of the church’s life. \nEvensong at Old North draws on the the Anglican cathedral choir tradition. The service is enveloped by the music of organist and choir which sings verses from scripture\, psalms\, biblical songs (canticles) and an anthem. Our prayers are inspired and transported by the striking beauty of the words\, silences and music\, and we add our own voice in saying the Amens and in singing the hymn. It is an ideal way to mark the end of a busy day and the transition into the evening time.

SUMMARY:Revolution 250 Salem Tour
