Celebrate All Souls' Day with Evensong

Christ Episcopal Church in Newton will offer Choral Evensong on Sunday, November 5th, 4:00 p.m. in observation of All Soul’s Day. Evensong, the choral version of the Evening Prayer liturgy used in the Anglican tradition, will be sung by the Christ Church Newton Senior Choir under the direction of Music Director Joe Mello. Christ Church is located at 62 Main Street in Newton.

The service will feature the Evening Service by John Merbecke, Magnificat and Nunc dimittis in F by Harold W. Friedell, and the anthem Requiem, by Eliza Gilkyson, as arranged for choir by Craig Hella Johnson. Four congregational hymns will also be sung.

“We invite the public to join our spectacular choir in prayer and song as we commemorate those whom we love, but see no longer,” explains the Reverend Chris Streeter, Priest-in-Charge at Christ Church Newton, and a member of the Senior Choir himself.

The event is free and open to the public, although a free will offering will be received. For more information about Christ Episcopal Church call 973-383-2245 or visit www.christchurchnewton.org.
