Evening Prayer

Evening Prayer is a liturgy used in the Church of England and other churches during the late afternoon or early evening. It is also commonly known as Evensong – especially when most of the service is sung. It was originally formed after the Reformation by combining the monastic offices of Vespers and Compline. ​Many churches now take their services from Common Worship or other modern prayer books.
​If a church has a choir, Choral Evensong from the Book of Common Prayer often remains in use because of its greater musical provision. Evening Prayer may be led by a lay member of the congregation.
