Parish NotesJuly 1, 2012

What’s happening…
A Newcomers/Inquirer’s/Confirmation Class continues. 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!
Pictorial Directory - The process of developing the 2012 Saint Luke’s Pictorial Directory continues. 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, 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.) We want everyone to be included in this directory!  Contact Lynn White (whites575@aeneas.net or 668-4120) if you have any questions.
The Parish Office will be closed Wednesday, July 4th in observance of Independence Day.
New Foyer Groups Begin in August. Foyer groups are an easy and enjoyable way for parishioners to get to know one another – especially newcomers and folks who go to different services – in an informal social setting. Once each month, over a four month period, group members meet at one another’s home or at a restaurant for a simple dinner, to get to know each other.  Each time groups are reassigned to meet new people. If you are interested, please sign up on the bulletin board near the parish office or contact Bob or Fran Beare at 731-444-1000.

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 the Book of Acts 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.
