About Evensong: Christ Church Cranbrook is one of the few churches in Michigan to offer choral evensong. The Anglican service of Evensong is the result of the joining in the 16th century of two of the ancient monastic offices - Vespers and Compline - into one service by Thomas Cranmer, the first Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury. The Evensong service is made up entirely of prayers set to music. The majority of the service is sung by the choir on the behalf of the congregation. Evensong is a deeply meditative and prayerful experience, and we are proud to offer you the chance to come and experience this special form of worship with us. Recital at 5:30 PM
