Initiated in 2001, Evensong’s contemplative style of worship is a wonderful Wednesday evening service (7:15-8:00 PM) at Ralph Connor. Interspersing music, silence, poetry, prose, meditation, prayer, the gifts of the Spirit are very present in this place.
NOTE: due to COVID-19 protocols, Evensong has transformed into an online event on Zoom. Contact office@ralphconnor.ca for login.
Evensong’s “The Longest Night” services from the past two years are available on YouTube: 2020 Longest Night – 2021 Longest Night
From mid-March to mid-June, 2020, Evensong members contributed a weekly meditation/reflection to our online Sunday worship service. To watch these, grouped one month per video, please click on the month to view on YouTube.
