Staying connected to St. Luke's during the summer

Get Church "to go" box. Take a picture of you with the picture of Jesus in the box where you go and send back to joannaseibert@me.com for us to put on Facebook. Bring to Joanna your bulletins where you attend church and we will put up on a bulletin board and talk about them in the Evangelist.
New Church Keys

The church and parish hall is being rekeyed. With this new process, we are switching to electronic code locks to enter the church and parish hall. If you currently have a church key and/or are part of a group that uses the church and parish hall during non-Sunday hours, please either speak to your ministry leader or call Caroline in the church office. Physical keys will only be given out on a temporary basis with the exception to staff, clergy, and vestry. Thanks for your understanding in this matter. 
Adult Formation


Half Truths, an Exciting Adult forum beginning July 31

Join the Adult Forum from 9: 30 to 10:15 after breakfast in the Parish hall where we will study Half Truths with Adam Hamilton and Deacon Joanna
July 31 through August 28

These are simple phrases. They sound Christian-like something you might find in the Bible. We've all heard these words. Maybe we've said them. They capture some element of truth, yet they miss the point in important ways.
Join Adam Hamilton in searching for the whole truth by comparing common Christian clichés to the message and ministry of Jesus. 

The clichés include:
* Everything happens for a reason.  July 31
* God helps those who help themselves. August 7
* God won't give you more than you can handle. August 14
* God said it, I believe it, that settles it. August 21
* Love the sinner, hate the sin.  August 28

This is an amazing series you will not want to miss.
