Evensong Thursday, February 27, 2020 5:15 p.m. Evensong The Second Day of Lent • Thursday 27 February 2020 • 5:15 pm Welcome to Grace Cathedral. Choral Evensong marks the end of the working day and prepares for the approaching night. The roots of this service come out of ancient monastic traditions of Christian prayer. In this form, it was created by Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury in the 16th century, as part of the simplification of services within the newly-reformed Church of England. The Episcopal Church, as part of the worldwide , has inherited this pattern of evening prayer. In this service we are invited to reflect on the business of the past day, to pray for the world and for ourselves, and to commend all into God’s hands as words of Holy Scripture are said and sung. The beauty of the music is offered to help us set our lives in the light of eternity; the same light which dwelt among us in Jesus, and which now illuminates us by the Spirit. May this service be a blessing to you. Tonight we welcome the Priory in the United States of America of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem.

I establish my n those days Jesus came from Nazareth of covenant with you, that never again shall all Galilee and was baptized by John in the flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and IJordan.
