All Hallows Evening Prayer is a service of worship in the evening for all pilgrims on the journey to the heavenly city.
In 1848, Joseph Brackett, Jr., a Shaker elder who lived in Maine, composed a tune that he titled “Simple Gifts.” He also wrote the words to go with the tune. It may be the most widely known Shaker song today. The song is only two verses long. It celebrates the Shaker principles of simplicity and humility. The tune was composed and the song written to accompany the dancing that formed a central feature of Shaker religious services. It makes a fitting dismissal song for this Wednesday evening’s service. The Scripture reading for this Wednesday evening is James 3:13-4:7a Real, Spiritual Wisdom Means Humility, Not Rivalry.
The homily is titled “Say “Yes” to God’s Love.”
