The Choirs of St. John’s will sing Choral Evensong, followed by a reception in the Green-Meldrim House. The Evensong and reception are free and open to the public, with ample parking available in the church’s parking lot behind St. John’s.
What is a Service of Evensong?
The Order of Evening Prayer, like the rest of the Prayer Book, is based on the ancient Latin liturgy of the Western catholic church, but, in the Reformation, was simplified, condensed, purified in doctrine, and rendered into plain, dignified, rhythmic English prose. In its structure, it follows the Pauline gospel triad (derived from Luther’s reading of the Epistle to the Romans) of repentance, faith, and works (or charity), also known as “guilt, grace, and gratitude”.

St. John's first building was consecrated in 1843. When the congregation outgrew this building, the construction was undertaken of the current building (which is situated in Madison Square, across from the historic Green-Meldrim House, now the church's parish house). The building was designed by Calvin N. Otis of Buffalo, New York, and was consecrated in May 1853.
