Adult Education Classes Sunday

BCP 101 | The Rev. Elizabeth Shows Caffey In the Parish Hall You see that red prayer book in the pew racks in front of you, but do you know what is in there? This book contains the structure for Holy Eucharist, Baptism and many other of our sacred liturgies. Did you know that there are prayers intended for use at home? This class is a quick romp introducing and re-introducing us all to the Book of Common Prayer. The Sunday Paper | Matt Boyer, C.J. Cash and Jonathan Serrie In the St. Luke Room this morning . A free-flowing discussion about current events, faith and their intersection in our daily lives facilitated by Matt Boyer, CJ Cash and Jonathan Serrie. Our discussions each week will be informed by scripture, national or local news sources. All views, thoughts and opinions are welcomed and encouraged. All Our Children | The Rev. Lauren Holder In the Hamilton Room You may have noticed the young faces in our park and on the streets around St. Luke’s—faces that know too much trauma and too little classroom experience or support. St. Luke’s has been in deep discernment over the past three years about how to respond to the homeless children among us and the injustice of education inequality that continues to plague our city and nation. On September 10, 24 and October 1, we ask you to join our efforts in a new and bold way. You will not want to miss out on this next chapter. Contact The Rev. Lauren Holder with questions—and mark your calendars for “the next big thing.”

‌ If you aren't able to worship with us on Peachtree Street this Sunday, joins us via the Internet. Click here for our broadcast at 9 a.m. Sunday.

THE ALTAR flowers are given to the Glory of God.
