May 6, 2021 - Ladue Chapel Presbyterian Church, St. Louis, MO
A Letter from Rev. Doug King
One of the great glories of returning to in-person worship in the sanctuary is the return of baptisms in our midst! We will be celebrating baptisms on the next two Sundays and what a joy it will be to once again be reminded of the abundant blessings we receive. 

We will celebrate new life. We will celebrate that each of us is claimed as a beloved child of God. We will celebrate the church which nurtures us in the faith from birth until our dying.  
Wherever you may be worshipping with us in these weeks, in the Sanctuary, in the Fellowship Hall, or online, we will share in the joy of the sacrament of baptism together. Thanks be to God for this holy sacrament and for all of the ways God reveals God’s love to us.  
Join us for worship on

Chamber Choir sings Fauré
Recently our Chamber Choir was joined by collaborative pianist Anne Peacock to record the beautiful “Cantique de Jean Racine” by French composer Gabriel Fauré. Here is a new translation of Jean Racine’s text by Nancy Hall Berens, who is Director of Congregational Life at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Alexandria, Virginia:

Word equal to the Most High, our only hope,
Eternal day of the earth and heavens,
We break the silence of the peaceful night.
Divine Savior, cast your eyes upon us.
 
Pour over us the fire of your powerful grace,
That all hell may flee at the sound of your voice,
Dispel the sleep of a languishing soul,
Which leads it to forget your laws.
 
Oh Christ, be favorable to this faithful people
Gathered here now to bless you.
Receive the songs they offer to your immortal glory
And may they return filled with your gifts.

Please view the video below to hear this beautiful piece
Communion Date Change
Session has moved the date for communion from May 2 to May 23, which is the Day of Pentecost. We will continue to use the pre-packaged communion kits, and these will already be placed on the pews with your worship bulletins when you enter the sanctuary.
