Similar to the traditional Evensong services common in Europe, Evening Song and Prayer is a contemplative service of worship at the end of the day, when "we sing our prayers and pray our songs," according to Wanda Stopher, lead pastor at FMC.
"With song and in silence we will intercede for the world, the church, our community, our loved ones and ourselves," said Stopher.
