“God’s Call . . . Our Commitment: A look of the Covenants of the Bible” will be the topic of the Rector’s 2012 Lenten Study at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church (Anglican Communion), Blue Ridge. The first class will be held Wednesday, Feb. 29, at 7 p.m. in Thomason Hall (basement of the church). Each session will be preceded at 6:30 by a Lenten supper.
According to the Rev. Victor H. Morgan, the purpose of the study is to help people understand the Biblical story and through it to hear God’s call in their life. The study will be conducted in an informal environment with times left at the end of each class for interaction and questions. Weekly topics include:
With the enlargement of the church and with some of the existing Prayer Books and Hymnals growing "tired", some replacements are needed. If you would like to give one or more of either as a memorial, please mark your check with "PB/HYM" and include on a separate piece of paper the name of the person you wish remembered. Cost of each book is $25.
People are needed to be ushers for the 10 a.m. service. If you would like to serve as an usher or have any questions on being an usher, please see Pat Dearing for more information.
We're looking for volunteers to make coffee and clean up on Sundays after the 10 a.m. service. If you are able to help, please sign up on the sheet provided in Thomason Hall.
This is just a reminder that there is a sign-up sheet for Altar Flowers in Thomason Hall, and although some of you have a "standing order" for flowers on specific occasions, the sign-up sheet is new, and does not reflect orders for previous years.
There is a great need for personal care items, paper products and non-perishable food at the North Georgia Community Action Agency. A basket is in the narthex to receive your donations.
