This Week at St. Luke's

The Fourth Sunday After Epiphany 

Jan 29 - Feb 5, 2012

Church Greetings!

Remember, we will gather as one community this Sunday for a joint celebration of the Eucharist at 9:00 am and our annual parish breakfast and meeting at 10:15.

There is much to celebrate at this Annual Meeting.  We've met goals. We did new things and we're getting ready to do even more.

We had a challenging year financially thanks to the economy and structurally, thanks to Hurricane Irene, but we had a great year where it really counts:  fellowship and mission.  You came together and made it possible for us grow stronger as a sacred community.

Please join us for our trademark Food & Fellowship as we plan for another year - our 100th year - of being God's people in this place!

In Christ,
Father Dirk
