Vespers

Vespers is a sunset evening prayer service in the Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Eastern Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran liturgies of the canonical hours. The word comes from the Greek, hespera, and the Latin, vesper, meaning “evening”.  It is also referred to in the Anglican tradition as evening prayer or even song. The term is also used in some Protestant denominations to describe evening services.

Vespers is held every 2nd Wednesday evening at 6:30pm in the LUMC sanctuary. Each Vespers gathering lasts about 30 minutes and includes opportunities for song, scripture readings, prayer, and quiet reflection. We welcome you to this uniquely spiritual experience. Casual attire is encouraged.
