Join Us for Our Final Evening Prayer of the Summer

Gather with us on the Commons Room Patio for our last Summer Evening Prayer, led by Rev. Christy. This month, we are pleased to welcome Rev. Maryellen Garnier, who will share a reflection during the service. After the service concludes, those interested are invited to walk together through the St. Stephen’s Outdoor Labyrinth.

INCLEMENT WEATHER

In the case of inclement weather, we will gather for worship in the Chapel.

ABOUT EVENING PRAYER

Evening Prayer is one of four similar prayer services in the Book of Common Prayer 1979—the others being Morning Prayer, Noonday Prayer, and Compline. These liturgies, collectively called the “Daily Office,” derive from Christianity’s earliest centuries, and versions of these services are prayed by Lutherans, Roman Catholics, Orthodox, and other traditions, to this day. At the time of the English Reformation, a version of the Daily Office was crafted in English for the first Book of Common Prayer, from which our service is derived—thus Evening Prayer is a distinctive part of our Anglican heritage as well.
