Kickball Anyone? It’s not too late to join the St. Luke’s co-ed team for summer fun. Our first game is Sunday at 6 p.m. on Field 1 at the Active Oval in Piedmont Park. Team members must be at least 21; otherwise, we’re just looking for folks who want to have fun and meet new people. Cost is $20 for the season. The season runs until August 5. Let us know you’d be interested in playing: Mignon Crawford ( mignoncrawford@gmail.com) or Keith  Roberts ( keithroberts180@yahoo.com).
Summer choir
Members of the congregation (high school age and above), friends, and visitors are all cordially invited to sing as part of the choir without a long-term commitment. This is a great opportunity to make new friends, enjoy the music in a different way, and enhance the liturgy. The three basic prerequisites are: 1) some ability to read music; 2) some previous choral experience; and 3) the ability to match pitch. No advance sign-up is required but you must attend the rehearsal on Sunday one hour before service time in the Choir Room. That’s 8 a.m. if you’d like to join the choir for the 9 a.m. service, and 10:15 a.m. for the 11:15 a.m. service. If you have questions, please contact Arlan Sunnarborg, director of music, by email ( arlan@stlukesatlanta.org) or phone (404-873-7620).
