St. Luke’s is in need of greeters for its Sunday services. Anyone interested should contact Harmon Stoops at hcstoops1@gmail.com.

We currently need 2 greeters for each door to the church and 2 greeters in the church parking lot in order to make Sunday worship as inviting as as pleasant as can be. These greeters are needed for the traditional service which begins at 11:00 a.m. on Sundays. All who volunteer to greet should plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the service begins.

These are the Bible verses that St. Luke’s Members (and anyone else who is interested) will be reading this week as part of our year-long “Read Through The Bible” program. We hope that all who have committed to this blessed project (by signing the “Doers of the Word” poster on display at the church) will feel free to post their thoughts on these verses in the comment section below.  And please remember that all who are participating in this read are welcome to attend our weekly meetings at 6 p.m. Mondays in Room 109.

The program features well-loved children’s songs, traditional Spirituals and rhythmic Gospel favorites. Nearly every performance is concluded with a thunderous standing ovation! In spite of the tragedy that has marred their young lives, the children are radiant with hope, musically gifted and always wonderfully entertaining.

The Grammy-nominated choir has appeared on most major television networks on shows such as Good Morning America, American Idol, The Ellen Degeneres Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and more.

Proceeds from Choir performances allow the African Children’s Choir to raise global awareness of the plight of the millions of orphaned and abandoned children in Africa. Donations directly support the expansion of sponsorship and education programs for both the current Choir children and the thousands of other students they represent.

The African Children’s Choir has been working with the most vulnerable children in Africa, raising awareness of the plight of Africa’s orphaned and abandoned, but also showing the beauty, dignity and potential of each African child. The Choir members have the additional benefit of international travel with the choir; this exposes them to a wide variety of people, places and perspectives. This program changes the children’s lives.

The African Children’s Choir has performed on some of the world’s greatest stages including Carnegie Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Madison Square Garden, London Palladium, US Presidential White House and the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels. The Choir had the privilege of performing with legendary entertainers such as Sir Paul McCartney, Annie Lennox, Tony Bennett, Mariah Carey, Josh Groban, Alicia Keyes, Keith Urban, Faith Hill and Wyclef Jean.

The African Children’s Choir has performed for US Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, Her Majesty the Queen of England, Noble Peace Prize recipient Nelson Mandela and numerous dignitaries from around the world.

Film celebrities, Connie Britton and Taylor Kitsch continually host events and fundraisers to further the educational work of Music for Life Institute in Africa. Legendary gospel singers Sandy Patti and Michael W. Smith are ongoing supporters of the African Children’s Choir.
