‘Hear My Prayer’ Prayer Service
with the choirs of St. George’s and Calvary Episcopal Church
Sunday May 5, at 5pm
St. George’s Episcopal Church in Maplewood and Calvary Episcopal Church in Summit are pleased to offer a service of worship for the community on Sunday, May 5, at 5:00 p.m. The service traces salvation history – the history of God’s faithfulness – through a series of readings, poetry, and music. All music featured in this service is written by African American composers, and the liturgy features prayers and poetry by African Americans. The choirs are joined by singers from St. Andrew’s and Holy Communion in South Orange, soloists, organ, and a gospel combo.
The Rev. Grant Mansfield officiates the service. The event will be live-streamed on the church’s YouTube account. You are invited to join either in person or online. Masks are optional for all in attendance.
A freewill offering goes to benefit the music ministries at Calvary and St. George’s, which supports programs like this one.
A festive reception will follow the service, sponsored by the Justice and Advocacy Ministry and the Absalom Jones Ministry.
