Saint Luke's Parish Notes - June 3, 2012

Parish Notes • June 3, 2012

What’s happening…

A Newcomers/Inquirer’s/Confirmation Class resumes today. This class will meet each Sunday in June in the Saint Luke’s Library at 9:15 a.m. In this course we’ll discuss the Sacraments and their meanings, church history, along with the origins of the Episcopal Church, the way that we approach this Christian faith of ours, and what difference it makes to you. Everyone is welcome, you don’t have to be new! It’s not too late to join this class so if you are interested, please join us today.

This week is Saint Luke’s week to serve at RIFA to serve lunch to those less fortunate than ourselves. This is a rewarding way to represent Saint Luke’s outreach ministry and to serve your community. If you have not yet signed up, please sign up in the narthex or contact the parish office for open times volunteers are needed.

The Saint Luke’s Episcopal Church Women will have the June “Summer Reading List” meeting on Monday, June 11^th at 5:30 p.m. at the home of Pat Craig. Please bring a salad to share, reading recommendations, and ideas for the Fall Fundraiser! All ladies of Saint Luke’s are invited to this fun get-together. If you have any questions please e-mail Janie Giles Carp at janiecarp87@gmail.com.

Pictorial Directory - The process of developing the 2012 Saint Luke’s Pictorial Directory is well underway. We are very happy with the number of parishioners who took part – thanks to all who participated! If for some reason you were unable to have your photo taken, there are other options.  You may email a recent photo to stlukes@estlukes.org, or send us one on a CD. (If it is a professional photo, we need a release from your photographer to print it in the new directory.) Please submit the picture no later than June 15^th. We will have a makeup photography day on June 17^th between the services and immediately following the 10:30 a.m. service. If this is not possible, we will make arrangements for taking your photo on another day. We want everyone to be included in this directory!  Contact Lynn White (whites575@aeneas.net or 668-4120) if you need to make other arrangements.

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 Wednesday Morning Bible Study led by Dr. Brady Whitehead is on break for the summer. Classes will resume after Rally Day.

The Upper Room Class will go on summer hiatus after May 20. There will be no adult Sunday school starting the weekend of Memorial Day. We will resume on Rally Day in the fall, when we will begin a study of comparative religions. Our study will be centered on Huston Smith’s book, The Worlds Religions.
