More than 90 teachers and staff members from HISD's Longfellow Elementary walked across the street for lunch at St. Luke's last Friday. Marvin played piano as everyone gathered in the sanctuary and teachers sang the school's fight song he composed several years ago. Rev. Harbison greeted everyone and proceeded to hand out gift cards to those who answered some simple and silly questions. Lunch was served afterward of brisket, salads, and beans. Table centerpieces consisted of school supplies, which our guests were happy to take back to their classrooms.

Because of interest from our recent confirmation class, we will be forming a youth bell ensemble within the next few months. The plan is to meet twice a month immediately after worship for 30 minute rehearsals.  Our youth will be learning on Choir Chimes, which are beginning handbell musical instruments. 
Our goal is to play a praise song by Thanksgiving and a carol during the Christmas season. 

  

Parents with children 8 or above, please contact Marvin Gaspard for more information, mgaspard@stlukespres.org.  We are looking forward to beginning rehearsals in October!

Following worship this Sunday, August 30, we invite you to join us for Christmas cookies and cake honoring our August birthdays. Once you've enjoyed refreshments, please join us in the session room to help us create a "master plan" for our Live Nativity on December 9. If you have been involved in previous live nativities and/or would like to learn more about this year's event, please join us as we kick-off our 2015 plans.
