PUBLIC INVITED TO 19TH ANNUAL 
MEN'S EVENSONG INVITATIONAL 
SUNDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 15, 
AT ST. LUKE’S MONROVIA

September 29, 2023—St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Monrovia will present its 
19th annual Men’s Evensong Invitational on Sunday, October 15 at 4:00 p.m. 
The church is located at 122 South California Avenue at Foothill Boulevard 
in Monrovia.

The public performance will spotlight the men of the choir, along with invited 
guest singers from across Southern California. In addition to the Phos 
Hilaron and Preces and Responses by Music Director Kent Bennett Jones, the 
program will feature Psalm 23 by Franz Schubert. The officiant and cantor 
will be the Rev. Neil Tadken, Rector of St. Luke’s. 

A freewill offering will be taken, and a wine and cheese reception in Guild 
Hall will follow the program. This will also be the first opportunity of the 
choir year to shop for choir member Lyn Walsh’s legendary handmade chutneys, 
jams, and marmalades.

Masks are no longer required but are available for those who would like to 
wear them.
