Choral Evensong - January 16, 2022

Join us for a time of music, prayer and reflection as our choral and organ scholars lead us in Choral Evensong as we reflect on the Second Sunday after Epiphany. The order of service is available to download on our website: https://www.stjohnthedivine.bc.ca/new... -------- A note about language: In our worship we use language which is poetic and filled with metaphor and wonder – realizing that any language about God is limited. We use some ancient words which may seem odd, or may seem to refer to God as male, or in terms which elsewhere we might not choose to use. The poetry and the metaphor are there not to restrict or define our understanding of God, but to remind us that our words are never enough to talk about the Divine: instead we use the beauty of the words and music in our worship to help us glimpse just a little of the God beyond all words. --------- Officiant: The Reverend Stephanie Wood Reader: Sarah Fryer Music: The MacRae Choral Scholars (quintet); David Stratkauskas, Director of Music --------- If you would like to and as you are able, please consider supporting the ongoing work of St. John the Divine by donating through Canada Helps. https://www.canadahelps.org/CharityPr...
