Please also remember that we present a lovely service of Choral Compline most Thursdays at 8:30 p.m.; for maximum effect come to Anabel Taylor Chapel, just a block from St. Luke in person. It’s also livestreamed and available after the fact on the Compline from St. Luke Ithaca youtube channel. The 25 minute service opens with an organ voluntary played on the Cornell Baroque organ and includes chanted psalms, hymns, and other liturgy, with an anthem each week and usually choral settings of the Nunc Dimittis and Lord’s Prayer. It’s a wonderful moment of calm in the week.
