Pet Blessings

Thank you to everyone for all the donation that were brought for the pet blessing last week. I took everything over to Granny Rose on Wednesday. They were elated and so appreciated for all the donations. Thank you Deacon Mary Ann.

GATHERING EVENT OCTOBER 15

Another event is on 0ct.15 when the recently donated hand chimes will be demonstrated by members of Melanie’s former chime choir at the Mt Morris Church of the Brethren. We are hoping to form a group at St Luke’s to augment the Sunday music. Playing the hand chimes might be a perfect choice, and a new way you can participate in worship at St Lukes. Simple supper at 5:30 PM, program at 6:00PM.

HOMECOMING FESTIVAL POSTPONED

We regretfully must postpone this event due to changed date of Fr. Rosa’s surgery to replace the battery in his chest that powers his DBS. It control the reduction of tremors due to Parkinson’s disease. His surgery date was moved from earlier in the month to 10/27 too close to the announced date for the Homecoming. The Hospitality committee will work to develop another date. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

NEXT SUNDAY10/19 ST LUKE THE EVANGELIST AND PHYSICIAN.

Anointing and laying-on of hands is prescribed for Ministration to the

 

Sick (BCP 455ff). A portion of this rite will be included in the Eucharist. Members of the congregation will be invited to come forward individually to receive this sacrament for themselves or others. Afterwards at the Coffee Hour a brunch will be served.
