our weekly contemplative mid-week service.

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.
