Can't say for sure - but it sounds like one of those daily cycles - like in a monastary where prayers are said many times during the day ...  perhaps often called "matins" ?

It is basically a morning prayer service, as carolla says

I have an Anglican/Epidcopal friend who says the Office every morning at her church when she is home. She is away for the summer or I'd phone and ask her about it.  I think the order of things is in their Book of Common Prayer.  It started I believe in monasteries in the olden days and is continued in some Anglican churches (especially cathedrals) where the priest is delighted to have anyone join him/her in the church at whatever is the designated hour.

Amazing what I don't know but have a vague idea about!

The "Daily Offices" of the Church of England can be found at oremus.org.

There you can find what I would have called "orders of service" for morning prayer, evening prayer and night prayer, in two formats (traditional and contemporary).

I don't have any personal experience of these.

Don't know much about the morning office, but we've had some confusion over "Evensong", which is the evening prayer. A UU writer used the name "Evensong" for a program of small group ministry and when we went to use it in our fellowship, some thought we were adopting an Anglican evening prayer service.

There are seven services per day, I think: Vespers, Matins, and Evensong are three of them. In (one of the most awesome books ever) Doomsday, by Connie Ellis, these services are used to keep time through the holidays one pre-calender Christmas time during the plague in the UK.

It's Connie Willis who wrote that, isn't it? Not being pedantic, just want to make sure it's right in case someone wants to look it up.

Willis...yes! sorry 'bout that!!
