Peachtree Road United Methodist Church in Atlanta will host Choral Evensong on Sunday, Nov. 6.

In a Facebook post on Thursday, Oct. 27, the church said Choral Evensong is one of its most exquisite and profound liturgies. 

The church said it will have a prayer session that will be held in the evening and will feature early Christian choral music. 

It added that they have the chance to concentrate completely on their inner thoughts during this time of devotion, and especially on this occasion, remember the servants, Lord.

In addition, Brendan Connor from All Saints Episcopal Church will perform the prelude recital at 4:30 pm, according to the church. 

The church said the Georgia Boy Choir will join the  Peachtree Road United Methodist ChurchChancel Choir for the service at 5 p.m.

Church’s Worship

Peachtree Road United Methodist Church's website states that regular services start at 8:45 a.m. The service will start with a time of fellowship with the priest, staff, and other worshipers and last for around 60 minutes, according to the church.

The church asserted that they would respect any attendees' wishes to maintain silence throughout the social gathering.

The start of the worship session, according to Peachtree Road United Methodist Church, will be announced by music.

The volunteers at Peachtree Road United Methodist Church could point them in the right direction if they needed a private space to breastfeed or make phone calls.

According to the church's website, the sanctuary and chapel are where most worship services are held.

Peachtree Road United Methodist Church said the alternative service features a full band in contrast to the usual service, which features an organ and choir. The preferred manner of attending services is still reading the printed bulletin, notwithstanding the usage of screens.

Everybody has the freedom to dress however they want. The church claims that attendees dress in their "Sunday finest" within the chapel but keep things casual outside of the services.

The church argued that although neither was necessary, it nonetheless wanted everyone to be prepared so they could feel at ease.

More Performance

The regional debut of Benjamin Horne's "I Remember You" was presented by Atlanta Chamber Players at Peachtree Road United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

The church announced the song's performance on Sunday, Oct. 23, at 3 p.m. in a Facebook post on Friday, Oct. 21.

The church's post claims that Horne is a talented young composer with ties to Georgia.

According to the church, in 2021 Atlanta Chamber Players joined forces with like-minded groups from Houston, San Antonio, Chicago, and New York to form the Cross-Country Chamber Consortium.

It was also mentioned that Horne was the first Black, Latinx, and Indigenous composer to win a competition.

Every ensemble participates in the competition by performing Horne's work.

He was born and raised in Atlanta, which, according to the church, made the performance of his work at Peachtree Road United Methodist Church all the more meaningful.
