Vespers as traditionally understood is the evening prayer service in the Roman Catholic, Eastern (Byzantine) Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox liturgies of the canonical hours.

The word comes from Latin vesper, meaning "evening." The term is also used in some Protestant (especially Lutheran) denominations to describe evening services, and in some Anglican circles is used unofficially to refer to Evening Prayer.

At UUCF, the Vespers service is a contemplative week-end evening service, usually lay-led, often combining song, stories, poetry and silence. These services are sometimes a venue for worship exploration and experimentation.

For the 2007-2008 program year Vespers will be held on the first Friday evening of the month, at 7:30pm from October through April. In May, Vespers will be on the second Friday evening.
