 Charity Bicycle Ride around Lake Chautauqua -
Saturday, July 14th, 2012 | |
The 10th annual "Loop the Lake" bicycle ride
for charity will be held
Saturday, July 14.
This is an event that every member of St. Luke's can participate in. This year we are adding a smaller loop of the lower half of the lake with a ferry crossing. We live in such a beautiful area and there is no better way to see the landscape than on a bike!
Registration is at 8:30 am and the ride begins at 9:00 am. The ride will begin and end at 68 E Terrace Ave, Lakewood NY, the home of Dave & Priscilla Menzies.
Rest stops and refreshments are scheduled along the ride. And all riders will be served a free lunch after the ride. There is no cost to the ride, but riders are asked to get sponsors. There is no minimum to ride. Money and forms can be turned in before the ride (preferred), or sent in no later than July 21.
If you have never ridden the lake before but have been interested in trying, now is your chance! Pick a loop that fits you and enjoy.
Dave and Cilla needyour help by volunteering with registration, refreshments, road support and the lunch after the ride. Another way you can get involved is by sponsoring a rider. Please consider participating in "Loop the Lake" in some way.
This recreational ride around Chautauqua Lake is held to benefit the Episcopal Partnership for Mission and Outreach. This is the charitable arm of the Diocese of Western New York and provides assistance to the most vulnerable children and adults in Western New York through eighteen member agencies, including Chautauqua Rural Ministries in Dunkirk.
If you think you can't possibly do that whole ride around the lake, consider riding a portion. The 1/2 loop, or even meet up with riders in Celoron on their way to the end and finish the ride with them! Contact Cilla for details! Priscilla or Dave Menzies at 716-763-4331. |

People are needed each date; bring a pitchfork or sturdy rake, we'll 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. |

Shopper's Luncheon & Bake Sale

How can you help?
Call 488-1264 or email wilmat@stny.rr.com
If you worked last year and would like to do the same - or something different ...
If you did not help and would like to be involved this year ...
Donations appreciated: - if they exceed our needs they will be donated to local food pantries --
Rhubarb, grapes or any other pie-making fruits
to donate now or when ripe;
(we realize that fruits will not be plentiful this
year) We will freeze the fruits.
Flour - All Purpose white
Sugar
Crisco (white)
With the support of our whole parish family, we are sure to have another successful luncheon

BUDGET PREPARTION | |
In September the Finance Committee will share a draft budget and lay out options as we look to 2013. The vestry really wants your input as we discern God's call.
Please take a few minutes and watch the powerpoint slide show which is available on our website. Go to:
http://www.stlukesjamestown.org
We have tremendous abundance at St. Luke's and great strength, but like all churches we face challenges as we try to fund the ministry we feel called to do. |

CHRISTIAN FORMATION CONVERSATION | |
We invite you to read Mother Susan's summary of the forum on Christian Formation for young people from birth through high school graduation on our website.
http//:www.stlukesjamestown.org
At the meeting we discussed what we hope young people will learn and how we hope they will grow in faith through their participation in worship, education programs and service. We will be using this information as we plan Sunday School and youth programs for the next program year starting in September.
Unfortunately because of the busy time of year, not one current parent attended that discussion.
Please contact Mother Susan at
momsusan@netsync.net
with your thoughts, ideas and comments. We look forward to an exciting time this fall! |
