Saint Martin’s is committed to reclaiming a vision of the church as a vehicle of transformation for individuals, families, communities, and institutions that serve God’s intent of love and wholeness for all of creation. With our worship life at the center, we believe through deepening our connections with each other, improving our communications with intention and creativity, and caring for one another, Saint Martin’s will be known as a vibrant faith community at the edge of Chicago.
On Saturday, June 28th St. Martin’s Episcopal Church will present the 22nd Annual Blues in the Sanctuary from 5 to 8pm at 5700 W. Midway Park. The event will feature Lucy Smith & Friends presenting Lucy’s vocals with William Kurk on keys; Ivan Taylor on guitar; Isaiah Spencer on drums; and Jackson Kidder on bass.
Lucy Smith is a singer, composer, bandleader, cultural programmer, and producer whose quartet/quintet is a dynamic part of Chicago’s music scene. Born and raised in the Englewood community, Lucy has led a myriad of musical combinations exploring the worlds of traditional jazz, blues, gospel and other popular music. Her musical collaborations include works for theatre, film, and spoken word productions.
At St. Martin’s we look forward to this time of year to celebrate our church, to provide a wonderful evening of entertainment and relaxation for the community, and to embrace the legacy of the Blues and other creative artistic expressions that help tell our stories of survival, liberation and empowerment.
Blues in the Sanctuary will include live music, a 50/50 raffle, and a Silent Auction. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Tickets are $40 and sponsorship opportunities exists from $50 to $500. For tickets or sponsorship information contact our representative Lisa Scott at 708-814-8152 or stmartinschicago@yahoo.com.
