Sunday Choral Evensong at 6pm

Michaelmas 2025 - 'Our true colours'

Colour surrounds us: in the natural world, culture and religion.  In this term's sermon series we consider the impact of colour in a range of contexts, hearing from those who treat the blues, campaign on green issues , and protest in pink.  Embracing the full spectrum we explore beauty, diversity, justice and joy.   View the Michaelmas Term 2025 card.

The Chapel stands in First Court, at the heart of the college, as a place of worship, reflection and enquiry. It is also a focus for the college community, where all are welcome. The Chapel is open every day, for those seeking a time of quietness, or to pray.  For those who prefer a non-Christian space to pray and reflect the college also has a Multi-Faith Prayer Room near the library, to which there is 24 hour access.

Christ's College has one of the finest mixed-voice choirs in Cambridge and, during Term, the Choir enriches the worship of the Chapel by singing Evensong on Thursdays (6.30pm) and Sundays (6pm). Coming to Evensong is a wonderful way to hear the Choir, explore spirituality, and get to know a lively community of students, staff and Fellows.
