Parish Notes • March 18, 2012
What’s happening…
The Lenten Program and Dinners continue each Wednesday 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!
Easter Flower donations are now being accepted. The flower form in this bulletin can be completed and turned in with your donation for a memorial or honorarium in our Easter bulletin. Your donation can be any amount you feel comfortable giving. We will decorate based on the total amount received. The deadline for Easter flower donations is March 25th.
Palm Crosses will be folded Saturday, March 31st at 10:00 a.m. in the Saint Luke’s kitchen. If you would like to help us with this fun and meaningful tradition, please join us.

The Upper Room Class continues. The Upper Room Class is viewing 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.
