Scandinavian Vespers on May 4th at 6:00 p.m.


St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church will be the site for a Lutheran Vespers service featuring music by Scandinavian and Scandinavian-American composers. When immigrants from Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland began coming to America, they brought their musically-rich religious tradition with them. The service will feature Scandinavian hymns (sung in English!), choral music by composers such as Grieg and Christiansen, and handbell arrangements of music by Scandinavian composers.

If you have a bunad or national costume from either of these countries, we encourage you to wear it!

The service will be on May 4th at 6:00 p.m. and all are welcome! St. Mark's is located at 3976 Hendricks Avenue in Jacksonville. An offering will be taken and a reception will follow. For further information, contact Tony Cruz at 742-5136 or vespers@comcast.net.
