St. Luke's Concert Series 
Tuesday, March 21 at 7:30 p.m. : Organ Recital and Baroque Trumpet with Dr. Steven Plank, organ and Barry Barguess, Baroque Trumpet.  We are fortunate indeed to have such nationally known musicians on our next concert.  Please note the time (Tuesday evening!).  A reception will follow the concert so you can meet the performers and greet one another.

Steven Plank is a member of the faculty of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and chairs the Department of Musicology there.  At Oberlin he directs the Collegium Musicum Oberliniense, and was honored with the prestigious Thomas Binkley Award by Early Music America for his work with this ensemble.  A long-time Anglican musician, as well, he is on the staff of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Cleveland Heights, Ohio.  A trumpeter and cornettist, as well as an organist, Dr. Plank's teachers in early music performance include Edward Tarr, Bruce Dickey, James Tyler, and Trevor Pinnock.  Additionally, he was Organist/Choirmaster for St. Luke's in the early 1970's!

St. Luke's Annual Silver Tea [DATE CHANGED]

St. Luke's has hosted the Silver Tea for over 40 years. Donations support Home of the Innocents which provides shelter and care for children who are without support when their families are in trouble. A representative for the Home will speak at the Tea.
 
This year's Tea reception will feature tea, coffee, wine, etc. and finger foods. Anyone who can donate, please bring finger foods to Board Hall. If you need child care, please contact the church office in advance and we will gladly provide it. Come enjoy the fellowship and participate in outreach.
 
In 2011, St. Luke's received the Childfriend of the Year award from Home of the Innocents for all the support we have given them over these many years. Let's generously support the Home again this year! Make your checks payable to 'Home of the Innocents'.

Medical Mission Trip
Megan Durham, a member of our choir and a medical student at the University of Louisville, will be going on a medical mission trip to Masaya, Nicaragua this summer with 3 of her colleagues.  They will work in a local hospital for 4 weeks, using what they've learned to improve the health of the local residents, working in the emergency room, surgery, pediatric, and OB/GYN departments of the hospital.  To facilitate their ministry, they need financial contributions to purchase medical supplies from Supplies Over Seas.  Project Latin America is a nonprofit Louisville-based organization that's helping coordinate the funding for Megan's trip. 

If you would like to support her work, please consider making a monetary donation.  All donations are tax deductible if made payable to Project Latin America. Please do not write Megan's name anywhere on the check, but please write "Donation" in the memo. 100% of the proceeds will be used to support the medical trip to Nicaragua. And by adding a new dimension to Megan's medical training, this will someday benefit the health of our own community as well.
