Evensong is a uniquely Anglican liturgy and St. Laurence is one of the few Churches in our Diocese to offer Evensong. It is sung Evening Prayer, from the Book of Common Prayer and starting Sept. 11, it will be returning every Sunday at 5:00pm in the Church. The service has two main features: 1. Listening to Bible Readings and 2. Offering prayers and praises to our Heavenly Father. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament is combined with Evensong and is an extra-liturgical devotion, arising out of people’s desire to express faith in the presence of Jesus in the sacrament of the Eucharist. Here, for a few minutes we contemplate the mystery of His presence in the consecrated bread and we adore Him with hymns of praise. It’s a brief but powerful way to worship Jesus.
