This is going to be a great week at St. Luke's as we will have Gerald the Goat make a visit to the children's sermon. If you haven't heard Gerald's story, he was a mistreated goat that is being fostered with the Jacoby family. He wears diapers and likes to climb on things. After his stunning (which I am sure it will be) debut in the children's sermon, Gerald will be seen on our playground and it should be a lot of fun. We might even take pictures with the kid with the kids. Hope to see everyone here.
On a more serious note, we are keeping everyone in our prayers especially those affected by the flood. Please see the article below about a meeting held by the City of Houston at Mark Twain Elementary. We will also keep you informed as to how you can serve those affected by the storm. Presbyterians for Disaster Assistance should be in the area soon and we will share information about that as well.
Stay dry and know that you are in my prayers.

A Closing Prayer
There is only one true gospel of Jesus Christ -
it is a gospel of righteousness,
a gospel that embraces all people,
a gospel of forgiveness, reconciliation, and love.
Christ's gospel is always bigger more inclusive,
and more wonderful,
than we could possibly dream.
Thanks be to God! By B.J. Beu from Abingdon Worship Annual
