Evensong Worship Resources

Cheryl & Bruce Evensong is the publishing arm for the work and ministry of Cheryl and Bruce Harding, musicians and worship leaders working with churches of various denominations across Canada, in particular with The United Church of Canada. Through Evensong, they have released five recordings and songbooks of Bruce's original sacred music, with more releases always pending.

Primary to their work–and what makes them different from the evangelical mainstream of Christian contemporary music–is a liberal theology of healing and understanding, a wide variety of imagery for God, and a strong adherence to the principles of inclusive language. In other words, they provide a real alternative for those who wish to sing a new song to God without having to be "washed in the blood!"


Biography

Bruce and Cheryl Harding are recording artists and worship leaders from the South Coast of BC. Their eclectic music style melds a liberal theology of healing and understanding with an evangelical, spirit-filled passion for congregational singing. Through their music and ministry they inspire people across Canada to sing with spirit and conviction.

Wilfrid Pastoral Charge
Birthing the Dream
(1998)

Birthing the Dream was the result of a lot of vision and excitement on the Wilfrid Pastoral Charge, three rural United Churches in Pefferlaw, Wilfrid and Udora, Ontario. A concert tour of Western Canada in the summer of 1998 prompted the production of this CD, containing selections from our small chamber choir and our "Sunday Night Live" band and singers (comprised almost entirely of youth 12-17). Glen Wells, our minister, worked on the concept of "birthing the dream God has dreamt within us," a stewardship program intended to help all of us reach our true potential as partners with God and creation. A fitting title for our project!

The songs on Birthing the Dream all came out of the worship life and experience of the charge. Many were written by Bruce Harding during his music ministry with us; the rest reflect the desire of other members of our group, both youth and adult, to break forth in song, to sing about that which moves each of us as individuals and as a whole. And that is what made this CD special–it was truly from the heart, an example of the Spirit at work in the world today. And that truly is something to sing about!
