SUPER SOUPER BOWL SUNDAY
The clock is ticking down to find out which two teams will battle it out for the Super Bowl. Meanwhile I have had an amazing response from people willing to bring their homemade soup to the Parish Hall on February 4th, in hopes of winning our trophy.
So far there are twenty different varieties of soups coming in. You name it, we have it. So please root for your football team and also root for your favorite soup! Please contact me if you have not already signed up to make a soup .Thank you so much for your support, Kate Hall.
LABYRINTH WALK
The Labyrinth walk is a metaphor for the journey to your deepest self and back out into the world with a broadened understanding of who you are. Labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools. They have one path into the circle and one path out. Walking the Labyrinth involves intuition, creativity and imagery. We are all on a path and the Labyrinth is a model of that path. St. Luke’s has its own Labyrinth that is available for walking twice a year. Come join our next walk on Saturday February 10, 10am to noon.

SHOWER MINISTRY
December, 2017 marked the 10th anniversary of the inception of the shower Ministry. It has been a blessed ten years for all who participated in this ministry. But now it is time to look forward for different opportunities for ministry in the community. Because of poor participation during 2017 we have ended this ministry effectively 12/2017. LAHIA has been notified. All who volunteered especially appreciated the donations and support from the members of St Luke’s congregation. We look forward to being involved in other ministries in this community with the support of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. Thank you for your support. Sharron Thomas
