Notes • May 13, 2012
What’s happening…
Our Episcopal Youth Community (EYC) will not meet today.
Spend the day with your mothers!
A
Newcomers/Inquirer’s/Confirmation Class begins today. This class will meet each Sunday
May 13 and 20th and 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!
Saints Alive! will be May 19 at the home of Phil and Peggy Bogard, 79 Woodmanor
Place, Jackson, at 6:30 p.m. What in the world is Saints Alive? At Saint Luke’s, Saints
Alive is a large gathering of adults from the parish for food, fellowship, and
fun with no other agenda. If you are new to Saint Luke’s, this is a great way
to meet others
in the parish. Please bring your favorite covered dish and join us for an evening of Christian fellowship.

The Rt. Rev. Don E. Johnson, Bishop of West
Tennessee, will be here Sunday, May 27th for the baptism of Cormac
Ferrell. Also we will celebrate with Broderick Greer his forthcoming entrance
to seminary on this day. There will be a reception for the Ferrells and for
Broderick in the Parish Hall following the 10:30 a.m. service. We hope you will
all join the celebration.
Baptism Dates Ahead. The Book of Common
Prayer recommends five dates for Baptisms… The Great Vigil of Easter, Pentecost
Sunday, All Saints’ Day, The Baptism of Jesus, and when the Bishop visits.
Other dates may be scheduled, but these dates bear special significance to
Baptism on our calendar. The next services that will include Holy Baptisms will
be the Day of Pentecost, May 27, 2012. Please contact the Parish Office
if you have someone to be Baptized.
