An Evensong for the Environment

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, State College, invites you to a special Evensong dedicated to the healing of the earth Feb. 5 at 3:30 p.m. The famine, drought, flooding and shifting of growing seasons caused by climate change hits the world's poor first and worst. Using our traditional form of evening prayer, we will turn prayerful attention to their need and our response. Evensong is a beautiful service of prayers and singing by the congregation and the choir. Music will include the evening canticles in C major by Sir Charles Villers Stanford and the lovely John Rutter anthem, FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH. Father Richard Virgil will be the officiant and The Rev William Twing of St. Paul's United Church of Christ in Johnstown will be guest preacher. A recep-tion sponsored by the Environmental Concerns Committee will follow. Childcare will be available in the nursery.
