If you are new to All Hallows Evening Prayer, the services are offered three time each week—on Saturday evening, Sunday evening, and Wednesday evening. The services, while they are posted for these three evenings, are asynchronous and may be used at other times.
The order of service for these services is taken from the Anglican Church of Canada’s The Book of Alternative Services (1985) and was selected for its simplicity, brevity, flexibility, and adaptability to a variety of circumstances. These characteristics make the order of service easily transferable to online use.
The services are ecumenical in character. They are intended for the curious as well as for inquirers into the Christian faith, newcomers to the faith, and longtime practitioners of the faith.
The hymns, psalms, and spiritual songs and the prayers are drawn from several different Christian traditions.
The readings are taken from the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible. The homilies are my own compositions and reflects the fruit of my own study of the Bible.
The services are an online offering of All Hallows Murray, a community of Christians that is dedicated to showing and sharing the love of Jesus and which is in its earliest stages of formation.
The order of service for Sunday Evening (August 30, 2020) consists of the following:
