End the Lord’s day with this service of choral evening prayer, a centuries-old tradition. Choral Evensong is one of the rare occasions when the congregation is able to focus solely on their prayer, allowing the prayers and praises sung by the choir to be those of the entire faith community, and particularly this parish. Come and be part of this meaningful moment as we honor both the lives and messages that connect us in spirit and community.
Music by Tavener and the world premiere of Peachtree Canticles by Philip Stopford. This commission was made possible by Friends of Music member Warren T. Kennett.
Two Special Recognitions at This Service:
Blessing and Thanksgiving for the Doves of Peachtree Road on their final flight.
Blessing of the letters written for the All Souls’ Post Office.
After The Service
You are invited to the candlelit columbarium for a time of quiet reflection. There, the letters written in love and remembrance will be released in a final act of letting go and trusting in God’s eternal care.
