A quiet, spoken service using the ancient language of the Book of Common Prayer. With sermon.
The main Sunday service, with sermon, communion, and choir, followed by coffee and refreshments in the church.
Evensong is a choir-led, music-filled, reflective service, according to the Book of Common Prayer.
This service, which marks the start of the church's year at this time of the shortest days and longest nights, is always a musical and liturgical highlight, with its dramatic sweep, profound scriptural readings, and beautiful choral music sung by one of Victoria's best choirs.
The music, readings, and prayers explore the themes of Advent - darkness, light, despair, hope, and justice – and how these are reflected in the oldest stories and wisdom of Bible, in the prophetic voice, and in the stories of John the Baptist, in the birth of Son of God, and in the cycle of life itself.
