Saint Luke's Episcopal Church Parish Notes - 6-24-12


Parish NotesJune 24, 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.

Office volunteers are needed for Monday, June 25th for both morning and afternoon; for Monday, July 2nd for only the morning; and for every other Friday morning beginning July 6th. Please call the parish office if you can help any of these times.
 

The Parish Office will be closed Wednesday, July 4th in observance of Independence Day.




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.
