Holy Eucharist with a short sermon and no music.

The Voice of Prayer is Never Silent
These words from the beloved hymn "The Day Thou Gavest" express a beautiful truth of our Anglican heritage The liturgy of the Church is prayed every morning and evening around the world, in great cathedrals, small chapels, and by individuals in the quiet of their rooms. Morning and Evening Prayer, the Holy Eucharist, Compline at the end of the day, are ways we sanctify each day through our prayer. We began weekly Evensong on Wednesdays about a year and-a-half ago. This is a quiet, contemplative service with music from the Taizé community in France.
The Cathedral of Saint Andrew Celebrates Evensong or a Sacred Concert every Sunday at 5.30 pm. Evensong is often the crowning jewell in a cathedral's full and busy life on a Sunday. The Cathedral Choir will continue to sing on the first Sunday of every month. Other Sundays will feature the Priory School Chamber Choir or Colla Voce, a women's ensemble at UH founded by one of our Choral Scholars. On Sundays when there is no choir, we will use the rich music found in our own hymnal.
Evensong is usually is finished by 6:15 pm. So enjoy a full day, come and praise God in this beautiful service, and still have an evening with family and friends!
