Vespers Service
There
is no fee to attend this unique worship service. An offering will be taken to help cover costs
for this and future services.
This
year’s cantata is BWV 177 – Ich ruf zu
dir, Herr Jesu Christ – composed for the fourth Sunday after Trinity. All
voice parts are welcome! There is no audition, but singers need to have had
good choral singing experience.
St.
Mark’s is located at 3976 Hendricks Avenue.
