Sunday Choral Evensong at 6pm

Lent 2026 - 'Repair'

This term, we reflect on the meaning of repair across different spheres of life: from artistic restoration, to the creative reimagining of our cities, to the wor nature does to repair itself in our seas.  Repair requires discernment and courage as we face relationships, questions of justice, and our own physical fragility.  God meets us in the cracks and enables us to rebuild, renew, reconcile and reimagine what can be remade.   View the Lent Term 2026 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.
