St. Luke's will take ashes to the streets again this year on Ash Wednesday, March 1, in the morning at the South Transit Center and at noontime in Old Town Square.

Last year we shared prayers and ashes with over 100 people. If you would like to join in this inspiring ministry this year, come to an information session next Sunday, February 19 at 11:30am in the Library.

Contact Hill Grimmett or Fr. Greg for more information or if you cannot attend the meeting on 2/19.

Domitila Jones has underwritten the Colorado Bach Ensemble production of Gottes Zeit is die Allerbeste Zeit ("God's Time is the Very Best Time") in memory of her son, Jeffery.

It will be performed on Friday, February 17 at 7pm at Plymouth Congregational Church and Sunday, February 19 at 5pm at Bethany Lutheran Church.

Tickets and more information.

Singles on the Go is a fun, casual group for all St. Luke's members 55 or older.  We get together every Tuesday morning at 9:30 at the coffee shop at Sprout's Market at Drake and Lemay.

On the third Tuesday each month we go out for dinner at a local restaurant. On February 21, we are going to East Moon Asian Bistro, 2400 EAST HARMONY ROAD. (NOT THE ONE ON LEMAY!) As usual, we will meet at 5:30.

Please RSVP to Gail McKenzie. Come join us -- we always have a very good time!

St. Luke's continues to discern how our congregation is uniquely poised to become a more welcoming church to the gay, lesbian and transgender community through the national Believe Out Loud program and the Episcopal "Integrity" organization.

We have been graced so far with informational seminars, group/personal reflections and guest speakers that were insightful and uplifting.

If you missed participating in those, fear not - we have a few more opportunities coming up!

On February 26 during Spiritual Deepening (9:30 a.m. in the library), Dina Strong Grimmett will lead us into a deeper conversation about same-sex relationships in relation to scripture and the Episcopal tradition.

Additional meetings will be scheduled if needed, and then we move towards developing and adopting an inclusive welcoming statement for St. Luke's. Ultimately, St. Luke's would then be added to the "Welcoming Church" map on the Believe Out Loud network so that our LGBT brothers and sisters know that St. Luke's is a safe and supportive community to worship with.

If you have questions about the process, please contact Nicole Vieira or Ed Gregori. Keep St. Luke's in your prayers while we move through our discernment, and while we seek to further open ours hearts and minds to share the love of Christ with all!

News! St. Luke's is now partnering with Our Saviour's Lutheran Church (OSLC) at 2000 S. Lemay Ave. for Faith Family Hospitality rotations. OSLC will be the host church, and St. Luke's will be the partner church providing volunteer support at their location.

What this means initially is that there is an updated training session (with a choice of two dates) that all volunteers must attend, both prospective volunteers and past volunteers. The first 30 minutes of each session will be special for St. Luke's volunteers to tour the church and meet the coordinators at their church.

If you weren't able to attend the session in early February, there is another on Sunday, March 5, from 12:30-2:30. 

Please contact Annette Lynch if you have any questions.
