Singers Welcome! | | |
Announcing a New Small Group for Singers
A Motet Group will meet approximately every three weeks to sing a capella music together. We will also pray together, enjoy fellowship, good food and drink. Our first gathering will be this Thursday, July 14th, 7:00 pm at the rectory, 311 Crossman St. From there on we will meet at different places. If you are interested, please speak to Peter Bumsted or Fr. Eric. The music will be challenging and we recommend this group especially for those who can read music. |

3rd ANNUAL RUMMAGE SALE - Aug 5 & 6 | |
WHERE'S YOUR RUMMAGE?
We are now getting close to the summer Rummage Sale, which is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, August 5 & 6. We need your donations right away if this is going to work. Also, we need helpers in the days leading up to and during the sale. Our fearless leader is Roxanne Wendling. She's really going to need our help this year. Please speak to Roxanne as soon as possible if you are able to give some time that week.
When you bring in your items there are designated and labeled areas. Please help us by presorting as much as you can. Thanks.
The money raised by the sale goes directly to supporting our youth ministry, especially our big trips. This summer our J2A class is having their pilgrimage and next summer Miguel is planning a mission trip.
Any questions can be directed to
Roxanne at (716) 499-3629. |

CONFIRMATION - July 17 | |
The Rt. Rev. R. William (Bill) Franklin, will be at St. Luke's for his first official visitation on Sunday, July 17th, for comfirmation, baptism and receiving. He'll baptize, confirm and receive a wonderful group, and special reception for all will follow the 10 am worship that Sunday.
We know you'll enjoy getting to know "Bishop Bill." Engaging, energetic and really smart, +Bill is on a mission to get to know as many members of the diocese as possible, and to learn the gifts for ministry in each parish, as he charts a course for our common life.
Please contact the church office if you are able to help with the reception on the 17th, and do plan to join us in worship at the 10 am service as we welcome new Christians to St. Luke's.
