treasureDon't Store up your Treasures ... Donate them!

Volunteers are needed to work the event. Please see Miguel or Roxanne Wendling to offer your help.  All proceeds will go to benefit the SLY 2013 Pilgrimage

Save the Shoreline!

A great turn-out was available for the first shoreline clean up!  Again on August 4th, 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

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.  Come and join in the fun for a better future on our lake.

This project is being sponsored by the CLA and the Jamestown Rotary Club.

St. Luke's Thrift Shop - 409 Pine Street

During the months of July and August, the Thrift Shop is OPENS its doors on Wednesdays, 10 am - 2 pm, along with the regular days of Thursday and Fridays from 10 am - 2 pm.  Check us out!  Lots of great items at even greater price$.

Shopper's Luncheon & Bake Sale

planned for Friday, Nov 9th, 2012

    We will again chair the luncheon. Liz McIntyre has been asked and declined to take charge, but will help when she can. Without her guidance last year, we would not have been able to make the luncheon a success.

 

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!
