Thursday Evenings at All Hallows (Thursday, May 2, 2024)
Welcome to Thursday evenings at All Hallows. Since the early days of Christianity, Christians have begun and ended each day with praise and prayer offered to God. This practice would eventually evolve into what are called Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer in the Anglican Church and in Matins and Vespers in the Lutheran Church. Other Christian traditions also have their equivalent of these two services. They are a beautiful way of consecrating and setting apart the day to God. GATHER IN GOD’S NAME Come, praise the Lord, all his servants…. Raise your hands in prayer… and praise the Lord! Open this link in a new tab to hear Keith Duke’s “Sun of Our Night.” Light of the world in grace and beauty Mirror of God’s eternal face Transparent flame of love’s free duty You bring salvation to our race Now as we see the lights of evening We raise our voice in hymns of praise Worthy are you of endless blessing Sun of our night, lamp of our day [ Instrumental interlude ]
