Great first week!

Chancel Choir sounded wonderful on Sunday in worship! Maybe it was just me enjoyed their return, but I think the anthem was sung thoughtfully and musically. We still have yet to see the full group return, so I can't wait to hear what we will sound like then. Keep thinking about those who you could invite to join us as we begin the new season. Thanks to Nancy and Beth again for a nice lunch after church - it was good to get together. See you Wednesday!

Return to choir

I just want to say how much I enjoyed hearing and seeing the choir last night at rehearsal. You have been missed, and it was so much fun to preview the music for the fall. Those are the times I most enjoy in my work at the church, and thanks for each of you who make it all happen. Here's to another great year together!

Concerts, concerts, concerts

"Alright, so what's the deal here? Isn't this a church music ministry? What's all this talk about concerts?"
You're right, we have an amazing music ministry here at St. Luke's with great choirs that lead an uplifting worship service week after week. But, I am very excited about our Celebrate the Arts series of events coming up here over the next few months. This outreach to our community and congregation continues to grow, and we are privileged to host and share these programs. Check out what's coming up:

Japan Fire Mass Gospel Choir, Sunday, February 13 at 7 p.m. In conjunction with Dodd-Sterling UMC and the Atlanta Chapter of the Gospel Music Workshop of America, this unique ensemble will sing gospel music in traditional Japanese kimonos.

Wooster College Chorus, Thursday, March 17 at 7 p.m. This college chorus has a reputation for excellence, and they will be presenting their concert tour program in our sanctuary.

Atlanta Balalaika Society Orchestra Ensemble, Sunday, March 20 at 5 p.m. Hear uniquely Russian stylings and folk music presented by members and friends of the ABSO, one of only a handful such orchestras in the US.

Chastain @ St. Luke's, Sunday, April 17 at 6 p.m. Back by popular demand, this concert by member musicians in the Bruce Jones Band and St. Luke's singers is presented in the style of the Chastain amphitheater and is a delightful treat for all ages. Bring your own picnic supper and many friends for this annual event.

So, now you know what all the excitement is about. Put these dates on your calendar and join us!
