Evensong at Christ Church Portola Valley
2026-04-26 17:00 - 18:00 | CA
The Evensong Choir is a collaboration of Christ Church Portola Valley & Woodside, Christ Church Los Altos, St. Mark’s Palo Alto, and St. Bede’s Menlo Park. Our clergy, music directors, organists, and choirs come together to plan four Evensong services per year, one at each collaborating church.
Evensong is a traditional Anglican service that typically takes place near sunset. Unlike Sunday morning worship, the service does not include communion or a sermon, but instead focuses on scripture, prayer, and music. Evensong services are approximately one hour long.
