With Holy Trinity’s longstanding commitment to the LGBTQ community, and appreciation for the arts, you will love this amazing work. In October of 1998, Matthew Shepard, a young, gay student at the University of Wyoming in Laramie was kidnapped, severely beaten, tied to a fence and left to die in a lonely field under a blanket of stars. The work makes use of wide range of poetic and soulful texts including passages from Matt’s personal journal, writings from his parents, and newspaper reports of the murder, and incorporates a variety of musical styles (Country & Western, Blues/Jazz, Pop, Gospel, chant, post-minimalist and Bach).
Play an instrument in worship!
Do you play an instrument? Or have you played in the past and would love a reason to dust it off again? The music ministry at Holy Trinity is asking for volunteers to play prelude music solo or as part of a small ensemble. This is open to musicians of all ages and levels! Ayriole Frost, Music Assistant, will work with you to find appropriate music or pair you with the right people. We are especially happy to include young people. See Ayriole after the service on Sunday or email her at music@htchicago.org.
