Music
Music is a medium that moves our hearts, minds, and bodies into the mystery of life. Our music in hymnody, chant, and song is highly participatory and led with the highest quality of musicianship.

Choir and Instrumentalists
St. Luke Church Choir sings weekly anthems and supports our congregational singing. The choir rehearses at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings (except for the second Sunday of each month) in preparation for the 10:30 a.m. liturgy. The choir is open to all who love to sing and want to be part of the positive spirit of music-making.
Do you play an instrument? We welcome the gifts of all people and would love to incorporate your music excellence into our worship life.
