Sacred Music at St. Luke’s

Sacred Music at St. Luke’s

 

The Music Ministry at St. Luke’s is best summed up in Psalm 100 “...Worship the Lord with gladness, come before him with joyful songs...” St. Luke’s has a long heritage of music. Whether traditional, contemporary, or gospel, the goal is to bring us together to worship the Lord from whom all blessings flow.

St. Luke’s choir, which leads the Sunday morning worship, has a rich tradition of providing sacred music at a high artistic level including featured performances, choral evensongs, concerts, and collaborative programs with area professional musicians.

St. Luke’s Choir

 

The core of St. Luke’s choir is made up of under graduates and post graduate students majoring in D/FW area college and university music programs. The choir welcomes new members who want to add their voices to our praises of the Lord. If you are interested in joining St. Luke’s Choir, contact Dr. Donna Clavijo at dcptcp@gmail.com.
