No matter how you define it, Evensong is a beautiful part of the heritage of the Church of England that is still practiced, throughout the United Kingdom, in many churches. St. Andrew’s is working to preserve this beautiful tradition of sung evening prayer here in Tampa with an Evensong service for All Saints’ Day on Sunday, November 5, at 5:00 PM.
The service will be sung in honor of former choir member and music supporter, Curt Goter, and will include music by Charles Villiers Stanford, Haig Mardirosian and Ralph Vaughan Williams. Come and be renewed and refreshed at the end of your busy weekend, as you prepare for the week ahead, with sung and spoken prayer!
A reception will follow in the Parish Hall.
St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church was established in Tampa in 1871. Its first service was held in the hospital building at Fort Brooke. A wooden church was erected in 1883 on the city block bounded by Marion, Twiggs, Morgan, and Madison.
This history of the Windows of Saint Andrew’s is based upon research by the late Laban G. Lively. Additional information has been added by Nancy Turner. It is reconstructed for presentation on the WWW by Joe Daurril. Photos taken by Chris Cobb.
The organ at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Tampa, Florida, was designed and built by C. B. Fisk, Inc., of Gloucester, Massachusetts.
