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 Dinner
concludes this Wednesday 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 today.
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.

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. 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.
Also…
The 2012
Altar Flower, Altar Supply and Altar Candle sign up sheets are posted. Please sign up on the bulletin board by
the elevator for your Sunday to provide altar flowers. These are filled on a
first come, first serve basis so if you have a date that has special meaning to
you, sign up on the bulletin board by the elevator. We have many dates open
still for altar flowers. You may also contact
the parish office at 731-424-0556 and we will be happy to check the calendar
and sign you up.
We are still accepting pledge cards. You may place your cards in the alms basin, mail it to
