Choral Evensong at Trinity Church Returns for 2008

Evensong, the beloved twilight worship service combining vespers and compline will return as a regular part of ongoing worship at Trinity Church in 2008. In these choral Evensong services words and music come together, each enriching the other, in order that our senses and our intellects, our hearts and our minds, may help us to draw closer to God. Each service will begin at 5:00 pm and will present varied approaches to worship in music, featuring the Trinity Choir as well as guest groups. Be sure and mark your calendars for these lovely services, and come with friends and family to experience worship at the end of the day through music and liturgy.
