Dr. Robert Bozeman, organist, and Dr. Stephen Mattingly, guitar, will be featured in a special prelude "God is our righteousness" by composer Chris DiBlasio - a beautiful contemplative piece for our Advent journey together. The choir will sing "The Rune of Hospitality" by Alf Houkom based on a Gaelic poem, with guitar accompaniment and a stunning anthem by South African composer Peter Klatzow "Cover me with the night" based on a Ghanaian prayer.

This is the third year that we have provided gifts for these special children and youth and the response of our St. Luke's family has been wonderful!

This year we will continue our tradition of decorating the church for Christmas with memorial poinsettias and large wreaths, as well as memorializing loved ones through contributions for special Christmas music. Please indicate if it is in
MEMORY of
or in
THANKSGIVING of someone and list their names clearly.
The deadline to receive all memorials is Sunday, December 10.
Poinsettia Memorials - the cost for poinsettias is $7.80 per plant with the deadline for ordering is Sunday, December 10. Envelopes are at both narthexes.
Wreath Memorials - We will again be hanging large wreaths inside the church on the stone walls between the windows. The cost for each wreath is $90. We hope parishioners will help subsidize this decorating effort by donating for a wreath, or part of one, in memory of a loved one or in thanksgiving. The deadline for this memorial is Sunday, December 10. Envelopes are at both narthexes.
Music Memorials - Give to our wonderful music program as God plants in your heart. You may give throughout the year to the music program, but in order to get your memorial in print, the deadline is Sunday, December 10. Envelopes are at both narthexes.
