St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church Celebrates The installation of two ikons and announces evensong Saturday November 22, 2025 4 pm
COBLESKILL — Fr. Paul Hunter, Rector of St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in Cobleskill, announced that there will be an Evensong Program on Saturday November 22, at 4 pm at St. Christopher’s on St. Christopher’s Place, Cobleskill.
Evensong is an ancient service of Prayers and Song to mark the end of the day. Some of the most beautiful sacred music has been composed for this service. Come and Sing with us. Evensong is for anyone who loves to sing or hear great music. Regardless of your religious affiliation or level of musical skill. Guest Organist, Dr. Brian Taylor, Director of Music at St George Episcopal Church in the Stockade District of Schenectady will be the organist. Join us at 4pm. The service will be followed by a light meal. There is no charge for this event.
St. Christopher’s recently installed and blessed a set on Ikons of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus and one of Jesus at their regular church service. In Eastern Orthodox Christianity, Ikons are a representation (as in a mural, a mosaic, or a painting on wood) of sacred events or especially of a sacred individual (such as Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, or a saint) used as an object of veneration or a tool for instruction. The Ikons were donated by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Mark S. Sisk (Retired Bishop of the Diocese of New York) and his wife Karen to St. Christopher’s Church, where they are members. They reside in Jefferson.
