St. Luke’s Choir 2nd Annual GREET, MEET AND TREATS. Wednesday, September 4th 7:00 p.m. Fellowship Hall

It is hard to believe that I am entering my second year as your Choir Director. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed leading and directing this fine community of singers. It all started for me when we held our very first Greet, Meet and Treat one year ago. It was a chance to hear people’s thoughts on the role of the choir, how singing can enhance worship and their music preferences. The event also gave me a chance to spell out my vision and expectations for the choir and walk through what a typical rehearsal would look like.

Well, last year’s gathering went so well, we have decided to do it again. The congregation of St. Luke’s, returning choir members and prospective singers are all invited to attend the Greet, Meet and Treats session on Wednesday, September 4th at 7:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall. Here is what you can expect to hear, do, sing and eat:
·        Review what was discussed at last year’s event.
·        Hear the highlights of what the choir accomplished in the 2023-2024 program year.
·        Complete a survey asking for your preferences and opinions to help the choir and the Worship and Music Committee plan for the upcoming year.
·        Sing through the ELW Setting Two which we will begin using in worship this year.
·        Listen to the goals and expectations of the choir for the 2024-2025 program year.
·        Eat delicious treats prepared by my wife Mary and others.

I cannot stress enough how this event is NOT just for returning choir members. It truly is a chance for the congregation to be a part of what the choir is, what it does and how it operates. And, it is an opportunity for anyone considering joining choir to learn more about this non-auditioned, volunteer, joy-filled, fun group.

Here’s hoping to see you on September 4th. Blessings to all!
