This service of Choral Evensong will be sung by the St. Philip’s Chancel Choir, with organist Jackson Morton and special guests under the direction of Dr. Brittnee Siemon. 

It will feature four-hand compositions for piano and organ, a Magnificat setting dedicated to the Rev. Elizabeth Roles, poetic texts by the Rev. Dr. Judith A. Davis, and new music by composers Thomas Rex Harrison and Jesse Kaiser.

Additional music includes Richard Sanders’ Preces and Responses and Paul Smith’s Nunc dimittis, as well as Gwyneth Walker’s Let the Life I’ve Lived Speak for Me, which will be conducted by choral scholar alumna Tamra Rouse Sutton.

We’ll be joined by Margaret Templeton, collaborative pianist for the Greenville Chorale, Bart Gilleland, bass, Brooke Mathieu, soprano, and several choral scholar alumni.

Please join us for a joyful hour of music, readings, and prayer. Admission is free and all are welcome. Refreshments will be offered after the service. 

St. Philip's will offer a Live & Silent Auction on Saturday, April 25 from 3:00-6:00 pm to benefit two camps for children: Camp Henry at Lake Logan, and Bound for Glory Camp in Brevard. Admission is free and the public is invited!

The event will be held at Deerwoode Reserve, 395 Riversedge Rd. in Brevard. It begins at 3:00 pm with a preview of the many exciting auction items. Bidding starts at 4:00 pm. 

Along with the chance to take home some great deals, the event will include live music and refreshments. 

The fundraiser is called "All God's Children: The Cornerstone of Our Future" and is part of St. Philip's Cornerstone Centennial celebration, marking the 100th anniversary of the laying of the church's cornerstone in 1926. 

Proceeds will benefit Camp Henry, an Episcopal camp at Lake Logan, and Bound for Glory Camp, a free Christian literacy and adventure camp for children ages 9-12 in Transylvania County.
