First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest Concert: To Everything There is a Season

This summer, the First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest’s
Sanctuary Choir and Lakeminster Ringers will be bringing a piece of Lake Forest
to the Baltic States and Finland during a 10-day tour. From June 30 – July 9,
the choirs will be presenting a wide variety of music to Riga, Latvia; Tallinn,
Estonia; and Helsinki, Finland.

But before the choirs head off to Europe for their 10th tour,
they are giving the local community a taste of their musical talent with a free
concert to be held at 7:30 p.m. on June 19 in the First Presbyterian Church
Sanctuary at 700 N. Sheridan Road in Lake Forest. This kick-off celebration is
open to all.

Titled “To Everything There Is a Season,” the Sanctuary and
handbell choirs will take the audience through Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 with songs
that embody each “time.” The concert includes a widely varied repertoire, from 18th-century
German, to high Anglican, to American spirituals and Gospel music.

The choir will continue to sing during the 10 a.m. Sunday
morning worship at First Presbyterian until they depart at the end of June.
