Man of La ManchaDo you ever daydream you're a hero, fi ghting the evils of the world? That's what the character Don Quixote does in this brilliant musical.

Our kindness can change the world - one person at a time.

After being thrown into the dungeon by the Spanish Inquisition, Cervantes requests a trial to defend his actions. He transforms himself into a chivalrous

knight committed to fi ghting injustice. He renames himself Don Quixote, The Man of La Mancha.Mat Govich, soloist

St. Luke's OrchestraRobert Fasol, piano

Eric Bradford, conductorHear me now, oh thou bleak and unbearable world. Thou art base and debauched as can be; and a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled now hurls down his gauntlet to thee! I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha, My destiny calls and I go, and the wild winds of fortune will carry me onward, oh, whither-so-ever they blow, whither-so-ever they blow, onward to glory I go! Hear me, heathens and wizards and serpents of sin! All your dastardly doings are past, for a holy endeavor is now to begin and virtue shall triumph at last! I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha. My destiny calls and I go, and the wild winds of fortune will carry me onward, oh, whither-so-ever they blow, whither-so-ever they blow, onward to glory I go!

DEDICATION OF TITHES AND OFFERINGS Dr. Robert E. Long

OFFERTORY Mitch Leigh/Joe DarionDulcinea

Don Quixote meets Aldonza, a lady of questionable morals, but believes her to be the lady “Dulcinea,” and treats her with kindness.

Mat Govich, soloistSt. Luke's OrchestraRobert Fasol, piano

Eric Bradford, conductorI have dreamed thee too long, never seen thee or touched thee but known thee with all of my heart. Half a prayer, half a song, thou hast always been with me, ‘though we have been always apart.

Dulcinea, Dulcinea, I see heaven when I see thee, Dulcinea; and thy name is like a prayer an angel whispers, Dulcinea, Dulcinea. If I reach out to thee, do not tremble and shrink from the touch of my hand on thy hair. Let my fi ngers but see thou art warm and alive and no phantom to fade in the air. Dulcinea, Dulcinea, I have sought thee, sung thee, dreamed thee, Dulcinea; now I’ve found thee and the world shall know thy glory, Dulcinea, Dulcinea.

†DOXOLOGY OLD 100thPraise God from whom all blessings fl ow; praise Him all creatures here below; praise Him above, ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

†THE GOSPEL Rev. David PoteetJesus said to them, “Bring some of the fi sh that you have just caught.” So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fi sh, a hundred and fi fty-three of them; and although there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fi sh. This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. When they had fi nished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” A second time he said to him, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” And he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish to go.” (This he said to show by what death he was to glorify God.) And after this he said to him, “Follow me.” (John 21:10 - 19) This is the Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

SERMON Dr. Robert E. LongSt. Luke's on Broadway: Man of La Mancha

MUSICAL REFLECTION arr. Mark HayesThe Quest (The Impossible Dream)

Don Quixote expresses to “Dulcinea” the reasons for his mysterious behavior. Mat Govich, soloist

Chancel Choir and St. Luke's OrchestraRobert Fasol, piano

Eric Bradford, conductorTo dream the impossible dream, to fi ght the unbeatable foe, to bear with unbearable sorrow, to run where the brave dare not go. To right the unrightable wrong, to love pure and chaste from afar, to try when your arms are too weary, to reach the unreachable star!This is my quest, to follow that star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how far; to fi ght for the right without question or pause, to be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause! And I know if I’ll only be true to this glorious quest, that my heart will lie peaceful and calm, when I’m laid to my rest.And the world will be better for this, that one man, scorned and covered with scars, still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars.

The Spirit sends us forth to serve; we go in Jesus’ name to bring glad tidings to the poor, God’s favor to proclaim.We go to comfort those who mourn and set the burdened free; where hope is dim, to share a dream and help the blind to see.We go to be the hands of Christ, to scatter joy like seed and, all our days, to cherish life, to do the loving deed.Then let us go to serve in peace, the gospel to proclaim. God’s Spirit has empowered us; we go in Jesus’ name.

AladdinThere’s nothing wrong with wanting to get ahead in life – unless it causes you to compromise your values. In Aladdin, the main character pretends to be something he’s not in order to find love, and exploits his friendship with the Genie. At the end of a struggle between good and evil, he eventually discovers the virtues of being himself, and is able to see that kindness is what can truly get you ahead in life.

Isaiah Bailey, an Arkansas native, is a former member of the Life Light Band, and thrilled to be back at his second home!

Hope Summer Rep: Lés Miserables (Javert) Poteet Theatre: Ragtime (Coalhouse Walker Jr.), Dreamgirls, Hairspray, and The Color Purple (Mister).
