Thank You....
THANKS to all of the parents and children who came to be in our pageant "Charlie Brown's Christmas" this year. Special thanks to the parents who brought snacks, and the teenagers who helped direct (Alina, Maria, Grace, Megan and Brenda). Special thanks to Sarah Reynolds, a high school senior, who was our director for the third year and she did a great job!
THANKS to Melissa Shannon, a high school senior, who helped design and coordinate the Advent workshop to make the beautiful purple banners.
THANKS to Joy Catron and Stacey Stratton who were Co-directors of Christian Education in 2011. Both women have helped with children and youth programs for many years and their dedication is greatly appreciated. Stacey will continue with the Youth Outreach program while Joy takes time to discern her next call in ministry. God has worked through them and their families to enrich our community and we are thankful. We look forward to seeing Joy and Stacey around St. Luke's for many years to come.
