Welcome Rev. Joyce Sheyer- Sept. 25th

We welcome the Rev. Dr. Joyce Sheyer as she interviews for the position of Youth and Family Minister. On Sunday,  she will give a children's sermon, meet briefly with all the classes in their classrooms, and have pizza with middle and high school youth following the 10 a.m. service.

 

Joyce is a graduate of Harvard College; served in the Peace Corps; received a Ph. d. in Soil Physics; and studied at Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge. She currently lives in Lincoln, Nebraska where she has family ties, including grown sons. She was ordained as priest in January 2011 and has some practical experience in working with youth.

Sundae Sunday - Sept. 25th
Come to our annual Sundae Sunday after the 10 AM service and see what kind of unique sundae you can make!  Donations of ice cream and toppings are welcome! 
Blessing of Pets- October 2nd, 4 PM
Join us at the Dalby Farm, 59 Grove Street, Scituate. Bring your pet for a blessing and stay for a tour of a unique farm for endangered farm breeds. Hot coffee, hot chocolate and cider will be available, too!
Taste of Scituate Ticket Sales- Last Week!

Dear Saint Luke's Parishioners,

 

The Taste of Scituate is not just a fundraiser, but also as a way to reach out into the community, invite them in to our church and let them know about all our wonderful Community Service Outreach programs.

 

We now need all of you to sell as many of your remaining tickets as you can to help us reach our goal of selling at least 750 tickets. This is the last week for sales, before we need to collect them all back!  If you need more tickets to sell this week....let us know.

 

Remember, you don't need to "SELL" them, just ask your friends, family and co-workers "Would you be interested in a raffle where you could win dinner out each night for 31 days?" Not everyone will be interested, but we know there are enough people out there who want to participate...we just have to find them.

 

URGENT:  TIME IS RUNNING OUT...we only have 1 week and must finish sales by Sunday, September 25th.  Please finish selling your tickets and return all ticket receipt stubs, money and unsold tickets on Sunday, September 25th.

 

Return your items immediately following both Sunday services...look for Tracy Dieselman, Erica Pollard or John Hudanich.  Any question, please contact me: john@hudanich.net; 781.234.8631.

          

THANKS & GOOD LUCK!

Harvest Fair News

The Fair is approaching fast.

It is on the 5th of November from 10am to 3pm.

 

We will be able to take items for the Book Table and the White Elephant Table beginning the week of October 16th.  The Book Table loves hard and soft cover books and DVD's.  The White Elephant area is looking for all of your treasures - glasses, bowls plates and platters, picture frames and paintings.  All sorts of things that are in good shape and of value to someone.

      

Items for the Children's area can be dropped off beginning the week of the 23rd of October.  They need any type of items for children - from toys and books to highchairs and strollers.  All items, again need to be in good working order and clean.

       

Our knitters and sewers could use your donations of yarn and fabric NOW.  We need yarn to make mittens and hats.  Fabrics will be used in all sorts of things.  Donations can either be dropped off in the Narthex - clearly marked - or you can call Susanna Dietz at 781-545-6109.

 

The Silent Auction Table would like any and all donations as soon as possible.  It really is important to have items or gift certificates or services early on so that the right type of advertising and write-ups can be done.  The more information that we can gather on items the better they do in the auction. 

 

If anyone has any questions or suggestions regarding the fair please call Susanna Dietz at 781-545-6109 or Maureen Keys at 781-545-1348. 

 

BASKET TABLE: The Basket tree is set up in the narthex, please take one and fill it up or bring in your own!  A list of filler ideas is provided.  

 

Be sure to check out the insert in Sunday's bulletin, (also in October's Mission Tidings and on the table in the narthex) for a list of all the ways you can help along with the assembly schedule. 

 

Any ??? contact Cheryl O'Grady at 508-209-3308 or 508-989-3739 or email jogrady191@aol.com.  

St. Luke's Breast Cancer Group
Beginning October 2nd following the 10 AM service, we will resume a monthly meeting for those whose lives have been touched by breast cancer. Through the sharing of stories, struggles and triumphs, this monthly group honors each woman's journey. Our group will meet the first Sunday of every month from 11:30 - 12:30 . For any comments or questions, please contact Rev. Colette Wood at 617-922-9664.
