St. Luke’s Church extends joyful greetings to all worshipping here this day. Whether new to the area or just visiting, please fill in the
information form at the end of this bulletin, tear it off, place it in the Alms Basin or give it to one of the ushers, and introduce yourself
to the Celebrant following the service. We hope you will return to worship God with us soon. (A brief history of the parish is available
in the Narthex.)
All who join us this morning may come forward to receive a blessing or, if a baptized Christian who customarily
receives Communion in your own denomination, to partake of the Sacrament. This is the Lord’s table, and we
welcome all. (Please notify an usher if you would like Holy Communion brought to your pew).
Altar Flowers are offered to the Glory of God in honor of our Veterans by Linda Vinson.
Dear Saint Luke's Family and Friends,
We welcome back the Brodies for our service today. Prior to the Sunday service we have a
Bible Study at 10 a.m. Try to attend, have a cup of coffee and treats.
Remember to save for United Thank Offering.
As Fr. Brodie mentioned last Sunday, he will be here one day of the week other than Sunday,
and he would love to visit with you. His phone number is listed on the back page of the weekly
bulletin.
Please continue to pray for the Search Committee, the Vestry, for each other, and that we will
be able to find a priest who will guide us spiritually, and help us to move forward.
The Vestry will meet in the little side room of the Parish Hall today, starting at 12:30.
Below you will find a memo written by Ellen Collins reminding us of our obligation to assist
Boys’ Home. We will have Boys from Boys’ Home visiting us for the church service on
November 16th. Plan to join us for a very special Sunday next week!
Boys’ home Christmas Sponsorship: November is here and it is time to think about the holiday
season and the Boys’ Home. Last year St Luke’s participated in the Christmas Sponsors Program
at Boys’ Home by donating $100 for each boy in Greene Cottage. We also fulfilled some of the
cottage needs and a few of us attended the Christmas Celebration in the Dining Hall. This year
we have agreed to sponsor Whitehead Cottage that currently houses eight boys. Our goal is to
raise $800 which will provide Christmas gifts for each of the Whitehead residents.
What Does Boys’ Home Do? Boys’ Home provides care and education for young men ages
6-18 who either have no suitable home or who have difficulties that might best be solved away
from their immediate home. The Boys’ Home Program offers evaluation, on campus schooling,
religious life program and vocational technical training. Boys’ Home is 97% privately funded.
The majority of contributions come from individuals, through organizations, churches and
foundations. Throughout the history of Boys’ Home, the goals have remained constant: to help
boys nurture their minds, bodies, and souls, to develop character, to educate, motivate and guide.
This important Episcopal outreach has made a pivotal difference in the lives of thousands of
young men. Photographs of the Whitehead residents are available in the Parish Hall with each
boy’s age, grade and interests. Please take a minute to read about each boy.
Thank you!
