ANNOUNCEMENT OF HANDCHIME

 

The handchime choir will be in church on May 10 for its last performance of the season playing some of your favorite hymns. You won't want to miss it. We intend to begin again in September. If you would like to join the group or have questions, contact Melanie Clements (815-847-8754). You don't need to know much about music, just have a willingness to learn, be able to rehearse one evening during the week, and appreciate fellowship with other chimers.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is a celebration honoring the mother of the family or individual, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. The modern holiday was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held the first Mother's Day service of worship at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia. At St. Luke’s we will honor our mothers by bringing them as guests to our worship service that day if possible. There will also be a place to bring a photo of your mother for all to see on display.

​

ASCENSION THURSDAY MAY 14

The biblical account of Acts 1:3 recalls that the risen Jesus after the Resurrection appeared for 40 days prior to his Ascension. The nine days between the Feast of the Ascension and Pentecost, when the disciples gathered in the Upper Room and devoted themselves to prayer, is often considered to be the first novena (nine days of praying for a special intention). Let us join together and pray for the Holy Spirit to bring Peace to the world.

​

PENTECOST MAY 24

This year the feast, which commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples and the Church, falls on the Memorial Day weekend.

​

FUNERAL FOR SANDRA SCHAUBLE - JONES - KENNEDY
