NC Men's Club
2025-10-31 09:00 - 11:30
The New Canaan Men’s Club was founded in 1977 by a group of men who met regularly at the Y to play racquetball.
While we have grown quite a bit since then, friendship and fellowship remain core to our Club. We meet on Friday mornings in Morrill Hall at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, but we are both nonreligious and nonpartisan.
Our Members come from New Canaan and surrounding communities. They bring diverse experiences from their careers, talents, travels, and lives. What brings us together is the variety of activities and interests Club Members share. Explore our website and calendar to see the many and varied activities that are available to all Members. Each Friday meeting has a speaker covering an interesting and often timely topic so we are constantly learning

A Service of Evensong for All Saints & All Souls
2025-11-02 17:00 - 18:30 | St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 111 Oenoke Ridge, New Canaan, CT, 06840
Choral Evensong (sung Evening Prayer) is one of the most beautiful services of our tradition. Most of Evensong is sung by the choir, freeing the congregation to attend prayerfully to the “holiness of beauty.”
Solemn Evensong is perhaps the most uniquely Anglican/Episcopal Service in Christian worship, and is one of our most beautiful means of outreach to the broader community. Sung in observance of the Feasts of All Saints & All Souls, the service will include music specifically written for those two feasts by Franz Schubert, and T. Tertius Noble, all sung by the St.Mark’s Choir and Soloists and accompanied by Dr. Michael Burnette at the organ.
Service is followed by a festive reception hosted by The Friends of Music at St. Mark’s in Morrill Hall.
All are welcome. No ticket or registration required.
