Choral Evensong with Sermon in Music – St Peter and St Paul

Choral Evensong is one of the glories of traditional Anglican worship and the nation’s cultural heritage. All are welcome to attend this beautiful and reflective weekly event which this week falls on the Eve of the festival of the Apostles, Peter and Paul. A statue of St Paul by the sculptor David McFall stands at the West End of the Nave next to one of St Bride, our matron saint.

The service is peaceful and prayerful, steeped in history and tradition and full of wonderful music which is performed by our professional St Bride’s Choir and organist. It lasts under one hour.

Instead of a spoken sermon, this service features a Sermon in Music sung by the choir – an extended piece or pieces of music on a relevant theme.
