Choral Evensong
in Honour of Freedom Sunday
Based on the Canadian Book of Common Prayer (1962), this traditional Anglican Evensong invites worshippers to reflect and worship through the beauty of choral music. In honour of "Freedom Sunday," this contemplative service will include musical selections to help worshippers contemplate the history of human trafficking and slavery in Canada today.
