Summer Highlights | |
The Church Picnic is my cue that summer has officially started.
Thanks to everyone who made our picnic so wonderful this year--especially Aksel Soderstrom, our newest member! Summer means a break in our Church School and other programs, but contrary to popular belief, God does not go on vacation! In fact, in addition to our regular services, we have several wonderful upcoming events.
We hope to send kids to each of the diocesan summer camps and scholarship help is available. Senior High is June 24-30; Junior High is August 5-11;
Sleep Away is August 12-15.
Starting July 1 we will welcome a new intern, Chris Zampaloni. Chris is a postulant for holy orders in the diocese and is a member of Good Shepherd Church in Irving. He has just started a new job at the Chautauqua Mall.
The General Convention of the Episcopal Church will take place in Indianapolis starting July 4. Please pray for our deputies, including two members of our own parish--Susan Williams and Catherine Way.
The men's group will be canoeing and kayaking on Wednesday, July 11. B.Y.O.Boat. We'll leave right from Bible study at 8:30 am.
Our annual Loop the Lake bicycle ride will be held Saturday, July 14 beginning and ending at the home of David and Cilla Menzies in Lakewood. We need riders, donors and helpers. Email: pmenzies@stny.rr.com.
Members of the Rite 13 and J2A group will be on a mission trip to Denver the week of July 22.
And our annual Rummage Sale will coincide with Lucy-Desi days August 3, 4 and 5. You may bring your items to the undercroft starting right now.

Celtic Spirituality -- Thank you! | |
Thanks to all of you for the opportunity to lead the Celtic Retreat in April. I had a wonderful time and fed off of your energy! Thank you for your participation in attending this retreat, and also to the clergy for helping with the liturgy, to the "go-fer," and to all the folks who provided the delicious food.
A special "thank you" to the people who prayed for me and kept me calm - you are a blessing.
A Celtic Spirituality group will start up this fall. If you are interested please contact Janicemarie McDonald at 484-7027, or email her at jmcdonald6@stny.rr.com
Thank you!

Save the Shoreline! | | |
On June 30 and August 4, different areas around Chautauqua Lake will be cleaned up as part of "Adopt a Shoreline" days. St. Luke's is invited to help at Lakewood Park, from 8:30 - 11:30 a.m. A sign-up sheet is in the undercroft. About 20 people are needed each date, bringing a pitchfork or sturdy rake, as we grab the loose seaweed and trash that has drifted in to shore, and pile it up for pick up by the Chautauqua Lake Association. This project is being sponsored by the CLA and the Jamestown Rotary Club. Talk to Mother Susan for details, and please sign up to make a difference for our beautiful but overly-weedy lake. Free popsicles and water will be provided for all our volunteers! |
