COMMUNION Before and After: A BENEFIT CONCERT St. Luke’s favorite Carrie Newcomer will perform at St. Luke’s in a benefit concert for The Dad’s Group on
Saturday, May 21 at 7:30PM in Robertson Chapel. “Before & After” is both the title of Newcomer’s latest album and the theme of the evening. The Dad’s Group, comprised of fathers who have lost children in unexpected, tragic deaths, are men who are very familiar with how quickly life can change in the space between “before” and “after.” The evening’s concert is an opportunity for fans of Newcomer’s work, as well as an opportunity for all those who have experienced deep loss, to enjoy an evening of tranquility and healing. Newcomer has worked with many notable artists throughout her career and has met with critical acclaim for her music. In the words of acclaimed writer Barbara Kingsolver, author of The Poisonwood Bible, "Carrie Newcomer is much more than a musician. She's a poet, storyteller, snake charmer, good neighbor, friend and lover, minister of the wide-eyed gospel of hope and grace." Tickets are $18 in advance or $25 at the door. Purchase tickets on Sunday May 1, 8 & 15 between services, during the week in the main office, or online at www.stlukesumc.com. Sponsored by St. Luke’s Spiritual Life Center.
