Join us for the Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels (Michaelmas) on Sunday, September 28, at 4:00pm.
Evensong is one of the most beautiful and spiritual parts of the Anglican Tradition. Our full Parish Choir will sing Evensong, and our preacher will be the Rev. Christian Wood, Rector of Saint John’s Church, Tampa, Florida. Father Wood is Fr. Matt’s cousin-in-law, and he is also on staff with Fr. Matt at the Saint Michael’s Youth Conference each summer.
Evensong is a sung service of Evening Prayer. Evensong has been offered for nearly 600 years in Anglican and Episcopal cathedrals, city churches, and country parishes around the world. The format for Anglican Evensong can be traced directly to the first Book of Common Prayer and Archbishop Thomas Cranmer who crafted it from the smaller monastic offices that had been in use before the Reformation. Evensong is often offered on Sundays or Holy Days.
Michaelmas (rhymes with “nickel” and pronounced like “Christmas”) is the traditional English name for the feast day of Saint Michael and All Angels, observed on September 29.
