Today's Lessons and Carols service was a triumph! Thank you to the singers of St. Luke's choir and all of our friends who came out to sing with us! Without all of you, the program would have been impossible. Your hard work certainly paid off! And thank you to the members of the audience who made it all worthwhile. Merry Christmas to you all!

Evensong Service, Sunday, November 3 at 4:00 p.m.

If you've not been to an Evensong service, you will find it to be a beautiful moment of music and prayer, relaxing and energizing at the same time. Our setting of the canticles is by Thomas A. Walmisley, and the choral anthem is by Thomas Luis de Victoria, specifically selected for All Saints' Sunday. Afterward is a potluck wine and cheese / hors d'oeuvres reception in the parish hall. Looking forward to seeing you all there!! And watch the mail for our annual concert series announcement being mailed this week.

Well, after two weekends of auditions, the February production of "The Sound of Music" has been completely cast, and the promise of a wonderful performance secured. We were overwhelmed by the community response, and were faced with the daunting task of selecting the Von Trapp singers from many highly talented youth. Everyone mark your calendars for February 6 & 7 (at 7:00) and February 8 (at 3:00 pm) to come and see our first full-scale musical with orchestra at St. Luke's!!

Today at 4:00 pm is our last evensong service of the season. Come hear choral and organ music by T. Tertius Noble, Gerald Near and Joseph Jongen!
