All Hallows Evening Prayer is a service of worship in the evening for all pilgrims on the journey to the heavenly city.
The Shakers believed that the songs that they used not only in their worship gatherings but also on other occasions were gifts from the Holy Spirit. The text and the tune of the Shaker song, “Gentle Words,” were “given” to Sister Polly M. Rupe, a Shakeress, who live at the Shaker settlement at Pleasant Hill, Kentucky, sometime around 1867. It is, in my estimation, a beautiful song which teaches us the difference our choice of words can make in our conversations with others, not only to those with whom we are speaking but also to ourselves.
The Scripture reading for this Wednesday evening is Ephesians 4: 25-32 Rules for the New Life.
The homily is titled “Ministers of Grace, Ministers of Healing.”
