Dear St. Lukers,
Are you ready? I cannot believe we are this close to Christmas Eve. With a short Advent this year, it seems like it’s so close already! Or maybe I’m just still riding high from the absolutely incredible Christmas Concert we had last weekend?
I hope you got to experience Sounds of the Season, led by our Community Choir, along with our children and youth, dancers, orchestra, nativity actors, and, yes, of course, our stilt walkers! You also got to experience the incredible gifts of our scenic and tech teams, support from our facilities teams and ushers, and probably so many other people I don’t even know had a hand in this incredible holiday experience. I want to extend my own THANK YOU for all the ways we were able to truly share joy with the community this year; there were MANY participants and audience members for whom this was their first experience with St. Luke’s, and we showed some amazing hospitality this year.
But don’t forget, the season’s not over – we still have another Sunday of Advent where we’ll be talking about how we find JOY for our future! Be sure you have listened to this week’s podcast episode (available wherever you get your podcasts) as we continue to explore the prophet Isaiah’s encouragement to the Israelites as they rebuild their community post-exile, and how that gives us clues to what it means to find joy for ourselves, here and now.
It’s also our last Sunday to remind you to give your special Advent Offering to support...
