Choral Evensong for Lent
The Cathedral Choir will sing Choral Evensong for Lent this Sunday, April 6, at 4:00. Choral Evensong has been in use in the Anglican Church (of which the Episcopal Church is part) since the 1550’s. It is still sung every day in nearly every Cathedral in England.
The Service consists of prayers, two readings from scripture, hymns and texts sung by the Choir. Unlike most other services today, most of Evensong is sung by the Choir alone, giving the congregation a chance for peaceful meditation and reflection.
Music for this Evensong will include the Short Service of Orlando Gibbons, the great English composer of the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque eras. Gibbons held the position of organist at Westminster Abbey in London until his untimely death in 1625, Other music to be sung includes works by Richard Ayleward and Henry Purcell.
The Evensong will feature our Taylor and Boody Continuo Organ, a gift from parishioner Sally Schreier in 2020. This organ is designed to be used with music of the era of Gibbons and Purcell and brings a lever of authenticity to the performance.
This service is free and open to all. The Cathedral is located on Cathedral Avenue and Fifth Street in Garden City.

Cathedral Pollinator Gardens Breaking Ground April 4, 2025
In January, the Cathedral of the Incarnation received a grant from Rewild Long Island to establish a pollinator garden on the Cathedral Close. The initial phase of the project design includes three garden beds that replicate the layout of the Main Sanctuary. This comprises two rectangular beds adjacent to the sidewalk on the north side of the Cathedral, and a circular bed representing the transept, high altar, and lady chapel.
Parishioner Susan MacDonald, together with Cathedral staff Kris Vieira Coleman and Caroline Cosgrove, collaborated with ReWild Long Island over a period of two months to select the plants. These plants consist of native, keystone flora that support various pollinators in our region. Director of Facilities, Stuart Newby, will play a crucial role in the installation of the garden beds and in managing the watering schedule.
The preparation of the beds, including the removal of sod, addition of compost and topsoil, is scheduled for April 4th. The initial planting will take place on May 20th at 9:00 AM. Individuals who are interested in volunteering to assist with the planting and ongoing maintenance of the garden are encouraged to contact Caroline Cosgrove.
Though most of the project is covered under the grant, the Cathedral is funding hoses, benches, arbor, and pest management for the garden. Anyone interested in donating to the ongoing maintenance of our pollinator gardens, please visit https://www.incarnationgc.org/donate/ and choose Cathedral Pollinator Garden in Fund.
Pollinators such as birds, bees and butterflies are necessary to the biodiversity of our landscape and climate resilience.
Help Our Garden Grow
As we draw closer to spring, volunteers are needed to water the Cathedral's vegetable garden, which provides fresh produce to local households through the Neighbors Being Neighbors Ministry.
To sign up or learn more contact Mo. Kate Salisbury, ksalisbury@incarnationgc.org.
Neighbors Being Neighbors
Our Neighbors being Neighbors Ministry needs volunteers and donations for our Easter Brunch served at our "sweet spot" on Jackson St. on Holy Saturday. We are collecting items for Easter Baskets for the kids we service. Additionally, extra hands to help prepare and serve breakfast are needed. Please contact Deacon Denise or Chris Scott if you are able to help!

A prayer for the Fifth Sunday in Lent
Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
