MAtthew’S Worship is the foundation of life at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church. At St. Matthew’s, our minds are fed through the sermons while our souls are fed through the Eucharist. Each service has its own distinct community and personality, with a committed Sunday membership. There is a sense of consistency and tradition to our worship, along 8am with a wonderful intentionality in our services. 10am We have three Eucharistic Services on Sundays. Our 8 a.m. Eucharist is small 5pm and quiet; we have an organist but no choir. Our largest service is the 10 a.m. Holy Eucharist Sunday Eucharist, with organ and choir — and often with violinists, harpists and other musicians. Our 5 p.m. Eucharist is a modern alternative service, with simpler music, where worshippers administer communion to one another. Services at Tuesday St. Matthew’s continue through the week, with Morning and Evening Prayer. 7am The architecture of the sanctuary is distinctive, and provides an intimacy and Eucharist accessibility to the liturgy. With our altar and communion rail at the center of a circular sanctuary, our congregants receive communion surrounded by their Wednesday parish community. Lay members — adult and youth — play an increasingly 5:30pm important role in all worship by serving as lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, acolytes, Evening Prayer ushers, altar guild and choir members. (lay-led) We have been blessed with the highest caliber of preaching based upon the lectionary or issues of social and contemporary importance. Regular and seasonal Monday services are carefully constructed to reach the spiritual needs of the people participating, and offer flexibility and room for creativity. -Friday 9am The music and the liturgy are planned collaboratively.

  • Position Overview
    POSITION OVERVIEW LOUISVILLE TOURISM SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT CONVENTION DEVELOPMENT (Louisville, Kentucky) ABOUT THE DESTINATION Louisville is the largest city in the state of Kentucky and the county seat of Jefferson County. Louisville is southeasterly situated along the border between Kentucky and Indiana, the Ohio River, in north-central Kentucky at the Falls of the Ohio. The Louisville metropolitan area is often referred to as Kentuckiana because it includes counties in Southern Indiana. A resident of Louisville is referred to as a Louisvillian. Although situated in a Southern state, Louisville is influenced by both Southern and Midwestern culture. Once referred to as “The Gateway to the South,” Louisville has its own unique brand of “southerness” and is sometimes referred to as either one of the northernmost Southern cities or as one of the southernmost Northern cities in the United States. Wherever you place it, it is Bourbon City, Derby City and River City all at once. Louisville is many things - original, eclectic, historic, dynamic, and above all…authentic. You could spend a lifetime getting to know our city, the people, the neighborhoods, the culture, and the history that make Louisville truly original. LOUISVILLE – A WAY OF LIFE… North, south, east, or west – Louisville offers a wealth of attractions and fantastic historic architecture in every direction. The striking local landscape includes six tree-lined parkways and 18 parks designed by New York’s Central Park planner Frederick Law Olmsted. One of only five Olmsted park systems in existence, Louisville is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The city’s public parks include playgrounds, swimming and wading pools, basketball courts, baseball fields, football fields, hockey rinks, recreation centers, horseback riding and more than 30 miles of bike lanes throughout the city.

June Meeting We are going to learn about the award winning Thoroughbred Chorus and then be entertained by them. The Thoroughbred Chorus was established in 1946 in Louisville as a member of what is now known as the Barbershop Harmony Society. The men originally met at the home of founder Fritz Drybrough and then for many years at the Rathskeller of the Seelbach Hotel in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. In 1978, The Thoroughbreds moved to the Old Lutheran Church building in Jeffersontown. It has since been renamed "Jim Miller Hall" to honor the late, great director of the chorus. They are a seven-time international champion chorus that is a part of the Barbershop Harmony Society. The Thoroughbred Chorus won the international championship in 1962, 1966, 1969, 1974, 1978, 1981, and 1984. The chapter has also produced several championship quartets including The Bluegrass Student Union, Interstate Rivals, Second Edition, and The Barons.
