Oak Grove Presbyterian Church seeks to be a joyful, inclusive and compassionate community. Our membership includes people from a dozen different birth nations (see our flag display in the narthex) and we are proud to be a More Light Congregation. The congregation of Oak Grove values its roots that go back more than 150 years, even as we follow the movement of the Spirit into new ways of being and doing.
We always welcome you suggestions.
Events Coming Up...
May 18 - Spring Joint Choir Concert - 7 pm
On Friday, May 18th, the St. Luke’s Lutheran Choir, directed by Tawny Homesley, and the Oak Grove Presbyterian Chancel Choir, directed by Judy Cooper, will join together to present a spring concert. The choirs will sing individually and together; including the popular anthems “Every Time I Feel The Spirit” by William Dawson and “For The Beauty of the Earth” by John Rutter.
The finale of the concert will be a performance of “Gloria” by John Rutter. Written in three movements, it contains the text of the Gloria from the Latin Mass. The final movement is a spirited fanfare of praise and joy. 8 brass players, organist, timpanist and percussionist will accompany the combined choirs on this piece. We’ve had many extra rehearsals to prepare for this challenging but very powerful piece of music.
The concert will be at Oak Grove Presbyterian Church, 2200 W. Old Shakopee Rd. in Bloomington. It begins at 7:00 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Baskets will be placed in the narthex if you wish to donate food or cash to VEAP.
Invite your friends and join us for an evening of inspirational music!
There will be a reception afterwards in the social hall.
