All Saints Sunday
We remember all the blessed saints who have gone before us on All Saints Day, which will be solemnly celebrated at St. Paul’s on Sunday, November 1. Please add the names of your loved ones who have passed away since last November to our clipboard list in the sanctuary, or call Rita in the Parish Office. All the names will be read aloud at the 10 am service on All Saints’ Day. Children are encouraged to dress up as their favorite saint. We also have six children getting baptized that day!

Choral Evensong
Evensong is a tradition in the Episcopal Church that has been done for centuries. It is done each evening in monastic communities and quite often in cathedral settings. Most often, the music is sung to simple chanted tunes. On the higher feast days, however, it is a more elaborate liturgy and sung by the choir while the assembly allows the music of the psalms and prayers and other things to provide moments of reflection. Major elements in the service include a sung Magnificat (“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God.”) as well as the Song of Simeon (“Lord, now you let your servant depart in peace”). Along with sung psalmody, a hymn, and an anthem, are sung prayers for the church, the world and all in need. It is a beautiful liturgy held at twilight to close the day with beautiful music and peaceful repose.
