There will be a meeting of the Property Committee on Saturday, March 17th at 10 AM in Dutton Hall. The Committee is seeking new members to help with the many maintenance activities necessary to maintain our facility. If we can get a dozen volunteers, we will be able to spread the tasks so that no one person is overburdened. In short, I am asking for 10 - 12 volunteers between the ages of 16 and whatever. Male and female volunteers are welcome. The tasks will be assigned in accordance with the individuals skill set and interests. Those interested please join me at Dutton Hall on Saturday. 

Once again members of St. Luke's will lead Evening Prayer during Lent each Monday and Thursday at 7 PM. During these services we will pray for each household in our parish. You are encouraged to attend the evening when your household will be named intentionally, you are also encouraged to attend any of the services as part of your regular Lenten practice.

Gospel of Mark, Sundays at 9 AM

Lift High The Cross: In scripture, paintings, music & film- Wednesday evenings at 7 PM

Three Sign Up Sheets in the Narthex: Maundy Thursday this year will take a different form. We will gather for a meal that begins as Jesus' Last Supper did--blessing the bread--then we will share a meal and conclude with blessing the cup. In between we will have some of the traditional food that they would have shared. Please sign up...see the sheet for food options to contribute. Second sign up sheet: all night vigil following the Maundy Thursday service into the following morning. Third sign up: to participate in the Great Vigil of Easter. We need acolytes and readers.

A beautiful way to remember your loved ones or to give thanks for your blessings. Look for the envelopes soon to be in the pews. Please return them by April 1st for listing in the Easter bulletin.

The youth group will start meeting weekly in March.

Long Island Shelter

Saturday March 24th-  3:15 PM - 8 PM  (Arrive and return to St. Luke's). We are in need of adult and teen volunteers to help us serve dinner to the homeless of Boston. There is a sign up sheet in the narthex. For more information please email Maureen Keys at morehalp@verizon.net.

Joshua and I want to thank everyone who has sponsored us for our Malawi Mission trip so far.  It is an amazing feeling to be so loved by our community.  We enjoyed sharing our plans and the Malawian cuisine with the folks who made Coffee Hour last Sunday.  Most everyone, kids and adults alike, were "brave" to try some new foods.   If you haven't heard about our endeavor please click here to learn more. We are still seeking support in the form of prayers, books and financial contributions.  

 

In peace,

Karen Hirsh

For the month of March, St. Luke's is responsible for helping at the Scituate Food Pantry. We would appreciate if you brought food donations to Sunday services in March. Food will be brought up at the offertory. Sign up sheets for volunteers will be in the narthex.  We still need volunteers for March 20 & 27th.

We still need 2 volunteers to provide the dessert on March 22. Please see the sign up sheet in the narthex. The desserts need to be delivered to the Congregational Church at 10 am on your sign up date. If this is a problem, please contact Eleanor Waterman at 781-545-2079.

10 volunteers are needed to serve the meal at The Table in Brockton on Saturday, March 31. Please contact Joan Powers for more information at 781-545-9650. Sign up sheet is on the table in the narthex.

We know that everyone's calendar has marked the date for the anniversary celebration weekend. Just a reminder- Evening Dinner Gala, Friday, April 27, Barker Tavern and Special Worship Service Sunday, April 29 @10 AM. Invitations will be in the mail by March 15. If you do not receive an invitation (your planning team is human!) please contact the church office by March 25.

Ways you can help us prepare-

    - ideas or desires of things to be included in the service

    - stories to be shared

    - volunteer to help send out the invites

    - volunteer to help the week of the events

    - all "techies" volunteer to help Rev. Joyce and the youth with    their  CD history project

Any questions call Alice Beal, 781-545-5206, Jan Michaud 781-545-0553 or Cheryl O'Grady 508-209-3308  

We are in need of three items. If any parishioners would like to donate said item or make a contribution toward the purchase of same, the church would be extremely grateful.

• Automatic Coffee Maker (commercial type- similar to the Curtis Alfa model in the kitchen)
• 2 Baby Swings for the Nursery
• A tent with side flaps (10' x 20' or larger)

Our present coffee machine is on its last legs and when it fails we will all be in deep trouble. The tent is much needed for future fundraisers and will help to generate revenue and finally the swings would alleviate a growing need in the Nursery.
