Parish
Notes • February 26, 2012
Our Episcopal Youth Community (EYC) will meet today
at the church at 5:00 p.m. This group is for young people in the 7th-12th
grades.
The Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper will be February 21st at 6:00 p.m. The youth of Saint. Luke’s
will prepare the meal. Please sign up on the in the narthex, on the bulletin
board or contact the parish office at 731-424-0556 to sign up! All youth
helping to prepare, serve and clean-up for this will need to be at the church
by 4:00 p.m. or as soon as you can after school.
Ash
Wednesday services will be Wednesday, February 22nd at 12:00 noon
and at 7:00 p.m.
The Lenten Program and
Dinner will begin Wednesday, February 29th and will go through
March 28th. Our Lenten program will center on The Book of Common
Prayer. This program will be practical enough for you to expand your knowledge
of how to use the Prayer Book devotionally at home, and educational enough to
expand your understanding of its contents. Each program will provide an
opportunity for us to worship using a rite from the Prayer Book. Dinner will
begin promptly at 5:45 p.m., and the program will begin in the Parish Hall
promptly at 6:15. Nursery will be available each Wednesday during these
programs. The Program each week will be concluded by 7:00 p.m. sharp. Please be
sure to sign up in the narthex, on the bulletin board or e-mail the parish
office at stlukes@aeneas.net so we know
how much food to prepare!
Safeguarding
God’s Children
is a required training course for all church staff and volunteers. This
includes Sunday School teachers, Children’s Church workers, Youth workers,
Vestry members and anyone else who works with children in any capacity and
should be repeated every 5 years. The next course to be held at Saint Luke’s
will be Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at 6 p.m. Please sign up on the bulletin
board by the office or in the narthex so we can plan for the number of people
attending and so we can send out reminders to all who sign up.
Christian
Education for Adults…
The
Tuesday evening Bible study led
by Gene Davenport meets each week at 7:00 p.m. We are now studying 1
Corinthians, Chapter 8 and all of you are invited. The class is in discussion
formant and is not a lecture.
The Upper Room Class continues. Starting November 6,
The Upper Room Class began a new series of video lectures on archeological
discoveries in the area of Israel and Palestine. We’ll be comparing biblical
stories with what the archeological and historic records tell us about the same
events. The periods of both the Old and New Testaments will be covered.
The Wednesday Morning Bible Study led by Dr. Brady Whitehead meets on Wednesdays
at 10:00 a.m. in the Saint Luke’s library. Everyone is welcome.
