Episcopal Church at Yale Choir: Evensong at Grace Church

On Friday, April 4th at 6 p.m., members of Yale's vibrant and growing ministry's Chapel Choir will offer an Evensong open to all at Grace Church (Broadway and 10th St.).  Those members of the broader Yale community who are also interested in attending a post-Evensong reception to meet current students and learn more about ECY's growth should contact Grace Krom, Program Coordinator at Episcopal@yale.edu. More information about ECY can found at www.episcopalchurchatyale.org.

The Episcopal Church at Yale is the largest Protestant chaplaincy at Yale with nearly 250 student and faculty members drawn from Yale College and the Yale Graduate and Professional Schools. Formed in 1869, ECY is one of the oldest college chaplaincies in the country. This vibrant and growing ministry whose life is centered in common worship draws about 50 - 60 students each Sunday for Holy Eucharist and fellowship dinner following. Over 150 students attending Easter services and over 200 attend our annual service of Christmas Lessons and Carols.

This year even weekly activities have seen increased participation - Bible study (10-12 students), confirmation class (6 students), and the vocational/career discernment group (7 students). Another 12 or more students participate in service activities in the New Haven community. The congregation is made up about a fourth by non-Episcopalians and is thus on the front lines of missionary endeavors of the church. The choir, made up of 25 outstanding voices and directed by two excellent musicians/organists, themselves students at the Yale Institute of Sacred music, is one of special joy and pride.

Church Club members are warmly invited for Evensong on April 4.  You will have the opportunity of hearing them and meeting with them afterwards.
