As the days get shorter, the coming darkness gives St. Luke’s an opportunity to present a seasonal treat: the story of a tragic love triangle, murder, kidnapping, a torch-bearing mob, and a disfigured escaped convict who delights in playing his organ underneath the Paris Opera House. What better choice for the October Halloween season could you ask for?

The Phantom of the Opera was originally written as a Gothic horror novel written by Gaston Leroux and published as a serial novel between 1909-1910. While you might know it best through Andrew Lloyd Webber’s adaptation of this tragic tale, in 1926 it was released as a silent movie. If you’re familiar with The Hunchback of Notre Dame then you will recognize the genius in Lon Chaney, American actor and make-up artist, who starred in the The Hunchback. Lon was renowned for his characterizations of tortured, grotesque characters and for his groundbreaking artistry with makeup, including nose and face wiring and extensive prosthetic teeth, face, & skull modifications. In 1990, writer for the Los Angeles Times Matt Chalon Smith was still recounting the impact of the phantom’s revel in The Phantom of the Opera, stating that, “…women fainted, children bawled and grown men stepped outside for fresh air after the famous unmasking scene.” It is considered one of the most well-known scenes in silent movies today.

Don’t be fooled – the movie will be anything but silent! Projected onto a screen in the front of the church, this film about a tortured, music loving soul will be accompanied behind the scenes by the delightful Bruce Woody! Bruce is formerly the house organist at Shea’s Theater and the historic Riviera Theater in Buffalo bringing decades of organ experience and his love for accompanying silent films to St. Luke’s. He will be tickling the Aeolian-Skinner ivories for this 1.5 hour extravaganza of film and sound.

On Friday, October 30th @ 7 p.m., the day before Halloween, we hope you can come join us in the screening of the silent movie The Phantom of the Opera. This free will donation event is open to public. Invite your crowd and come dressed for the occasion if you like in your 19th century Parisian gothic wear, or your best torch bearing mob outfit, to enjoy this trip back in time as the sun sets over the darkening church and music and drama begin!

On a recent Sunday Myrick Mathews stood in our pulpit and told us a remarkable story about addiction, recovery, forgiveness, and, most of all, the power of community. If you missed it you can watch his sermon here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQmWEdA5tu0).

Myrick told us how, while waiting for an N.A. meeting at St. Luke’s, something prompted him to walk into the church. The doors happened to be open because the Chautauqua Chamber Ensemble was there. He walked halfway down the aisle, sat in a pew, and began to cry.

Soon afterward, he came to the 8:00 service. At the end of worship, he came to shake my hand. Instead, I hugged him. In his sermon, Myrick said something I wasn’t prepared to hear: that hug changed his life. I have been thinking about that ever since.

The truth is, I didn’t know I was doing anything important. But that is one of the things Myrick’s story teaches us: we rarely know the significance of our presence in another person’s life.

Myrick’s recovery was held by a community. Cathy invited him to the 10:00 service. Kim helped him get his driver’s license. Gordon remembered his sobriety anniversary. Paul invited him to become an acolyte. People learned his name, laughed with him, noticed him, and welcomed him.

Eventually, Myrick wasn’t simply attending church. He belonged. He had people who depended upon him and people he could depend upon. That is what community does.

And it reminds us that showing up matters. Coming to worship matters. Singing in the choir matters. Serving at the altar matters. Volunteering matters. Sitting beside someone at coffee hour matters. Remembering a name matters. Not simply because St. Luke’s needs people to fill roles, but because people need one another.

Someone may be depending upon your presence without ever telling you. A small kindness you barely remember may be held in someone else’s heart for years. Myrick reminded us that we don’t have to do something heroic to change a life.

Sometimes we just have to show up. And we may never know how much our showing up matters. (The Rector)
