News & Notes 

Dear Faithful People of Saint Peter's

This Sunday we celebrate the Day of the Evangelist Saint Luke the Physician.  Rites of healing will be included in all our Sunday liturgies.  

 

At the Constituting Convention of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America in 1987, congregations were asked to commemorate Luke and include rites of healing on the Sunday closest to the Day of Saint Luke (October 18). Particular concern for those living with HIV/AIDS prompted the ELCA's request.  This Sunday marks the 25th anniversary of Saint Peter's inclusion of rites of healing in its regular liturgies. Currently, rites of healing are included every Monday at our 12:30 mass, at Jazz Vespers every Sunday and at appropriate times at every Sunday liturgy, usually once per month.

 

Because the Gospel according to Saint Luke and the Acts of the Apostles share the same author and that author uses many technical medical terms in the Luke-Acts narrative, the term "physician" has traditionally been added to Luke's name. Hence the emphasis on health, healing and wholeness.

 


 The 10:00 a.m. Forum,  "At Home in the World" will be presented by New York Times acclaimed author and artist Judith Dupr� whose books include Skyscrapers (1996, 2006), Churches (2001 [Saint Peter's appears in this volume]), Monuments (2006) and the acclaimed Full of Grace: Mary in Faith, Art and Life (2010). Judith is a fascinating speaker,  This is a "must" forum!

  


We will celebrate Reconciliation/Reformation Day at all our liturgies next Sunday, October 28 and include liturgical material from Luther and from our 150 year heritage at the 11:00 a.m. mass.

 


We will also begin one of our 150th Anniversary Deeply Rooted, Always Growing events at our 10:00 a.m. Forum that Sunday, beginning a three-part series The Jesus of Islam and his Blessed Virgin Mother led by one of our favorite presenters, Lucinda Mosher


 

Finally on October 28, our annual Congregational Meeting will follow the 11:00 a.m. mass.

 

Peace and Joy,

 

Amandus J. Derr
Senior Pastor
