Notes • March 4, 2012
What’s happening…
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 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!
Friends of the Arts at Saint Luke’s will
present Brendan White in recital Sunday, March 11th at 4:00 p.m.
Brendan is a very talented pianist who grew up in Saint Luke’s, singing in the
choir and playing the organ from time to time. He is a graduate of the Eastman
School of Music and currently lives in Rochester ,
New York
