St. Luke's Book Club
YOU ARE INVITED to St Luke's Book Club! This month, we are reading "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot. This is about how a deceased woman's cells are probably going to live forever.

MEETING INFO: Lyman House, October 10, the SECOND (2nd) Tuesday monthly, at 6:30 PM for 2+- hours of rousing conversations and introductions to books of almost every genre.
 
Wed. AM Bible Study
Our Wednesday morning Bible study starts a new book next week, October 11 th.   
 
I & II Kings!  It's a story of Israelite kings and prophets of the Old Testament, people like Solomon and Elijah, who often clash.  The two books narrate the gradual decline of the quality of the monarchy, which led the nation into idolatry and injustice, resulting in their conquest and enslavement by the Babylonian Empire.  Palace intrigue, forbidden affairs, and plenty of gory violence abound.   
 
We meet in Board Hall from 9:45 - 11:00.  About 20 people currently participate, and there's always room for more.  We start by reading aloud a chapter or a portion of a chapter.  We look at the text, and we search for additional meaning "in between the lines" and behind the text.  What were the authors trying to do when they wrote this?  In others words, why did this write this the way that they did?  How would the original readers and hearers have responded?  And, of course, what does it mean for our daily life in the world?   
 
After this 25 minute review, we ask questions and share insights.  Led by Father Michael.
 
Low Country Boil
On Saturday, October 14th, at 6:30, The Brotherhood of St. Andrew will hold its annual Low Country Boil.  
 
This is a fun fellowship experience with any profits made given to area charities that serve those in need.
 
Feast of St. Luke's
On the weekend of October 14th and 15th, we will celebrate our Patronal Feast of St. Luke, our parish's namesake, at all three of our Eucharists.  
 
This is a special event for our faith family, and we encourage you to join in our praise of God, giving thanks for the powerful ministry of Luke, author of a gospel and The Acts of the Apostles.
 
Newcomer's Dinner
Newcomers Dinner on Sunday, October 15, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at Owl Creek Country Club in Anchorage.

Visitors and newer members are invited for an evening of fun, food and fellowship.  If you have joined in the past year, have been visiting us or were not able to attend the newcomers dinner last May and would like to meet others, this event is for you.

Children are welcomed and there is no cost.  Please RSVP to Celia Manlove at [email protected] or call (502)253-0862. 
 
Organ Recital & Choral Evensong : Oct. 22 at 4pm
The first organ recital and Evensong of the Fall season is on October 22 at 4:00 pm.    Michael Messina, Trinity Church, Indianapolis, will present a 30 minute organ recital.  Choral Evensong will follow, featuring choral music of Julianna Horton.   A reception will follow in Board Hall.   
 
Please note the new start time of 4:00 pm.  Evensong is a wonderful, traditional service of prayer and music - a perfect service to invite a friend to experience the beauty and tranquility of St. Luke's.
