Evensong Worship Service – Epiphany
Evensong Worship Service – Epiphany
January 11 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm
We welcome everyone to join Evensong worship on Sunday, Jan 11. We will create intentional space for grieving, processing and praying together, and we invite our community to join us.
During Epiphany, this season of revelation and renewal, our Evensong service will feature original music by Evensong Leader Andy Pokel and his wife, Rev. Elise Pokel. With its focus on contemplative practices and experimentation, Evensong is a perfect opportunity to experience the Word in new, refreshing ways.
Experimental. Newly-composed sacred music alongside traditional Lutheran hymnody; contemplative spiritual practices; poetry and art used to illuminate scripture.
Embodied. Opportunities for active participation, like candle lighting and prayer stations.
Experiential. Cozy, contemplative atmosphere; a deep, restorative breath before the work week; seasonal liturgies allow music and words to sink in deeply.
These three words sum up the vision for our 5:00 pm worship service, Evensong, curated and led by Spirit Garage’s Andy Pokel in collaboration with Bethlehem pastors and volunteer musicians.
Andy has worked at Spirit Garage since June 2024 but officially started his internship at Bethlehem and Spirit Garage in October. One of Andy’s internship learning goals is to explore and refine how he proclaims the good news of Jesus through music.
