Announcements & Opportunities
|

In May we are collecting Kroger gift cards, paper plates, disposable cups (6 or 8 oz.), spoons and forks for the Greater Fortress Summer Camp. Greater Fortress is a church of about 35 active members that serves between 50-75 neighborhood children and youth each summer. Please place your donations in the Outreach baskets located in the Narthex and the Reception Area.

Kickball Anyone? Join the co-ed team for summer fun. No skill needed, just $20 and the desire to have fun and meet new people (though you must be at least 21 years old). Let us know you’d be interested in playing: Mignon Crawford (
mignoncrawford@gmail.com) or Keith Roberts (
keithroberts180@yahoo.com).
Mass on the Grass Join us next Sunday, May 27 for a combined service at 10 a.m. in The Park. The 8 a.m. Holy Eucharist gathers, as usual, in the Nave. Following Mass on the Grass will be our annual potluck picnic. Bring friends!
Bike Blessing Warm weather draws us back outside to explore God’s beautiful creation. Let’s bless these adventures! Bring your bicycles to Mass on the Grass to be blessed. Right after worship, Rev. Elizabeth will lead a very brief (5 minute) service of prayers and blessing for all your two or three-wheeled journeys this summer.
National Gun Violence Awareness Day St. Luke’s is holding an interfaith vigil on Friday, June 1 from noon until 2 p.m. in Liberty Plaza to remember Georgians who died in 2017 as a result of gun violence. We will name each person. Please plan to join St. Luke’s clergy and invite others to join us as we all continue to work to discern a way forward in reducing the number of senseless deaths from guns. If you have questions, please contact The Rev. Elizabeth Shows Caffey (
elizabeth@stlukesatlanta.org).
EYC Field Day The first EYC event of the summer will be Sunday, June 3 at 5 p.m. All EYC-aged youth are invited to join Kristin Lennon and Kevin Athans at Iverson Park for kickball and other games. We’ll walk to Fellini’s on McLendon for dinner and be done by 7 p.m.. Contact Kristin for more information (
kristin@stlukesatlanta.org).

VBS - is not just for kids!

fun, easy, and essential

I HAVE A DREAM
As our ministry approaches the finish line, we will celebrate its completion in grand fashion in the month of June. Please take a moment to join us and appreciate what our Dreamers have accomplished.
|
|
- Stop by the Glenn Gallery to take a look at the Dreamers’ photo/profiles. These snapshots of our Dreamers represent the cumulative successes of our 17+ years of ministry!
- Join us for our annual Awards Luncheon on June 9, from 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall. This event is where we honor all the Dreamers and salute the recent graduates. If you would like to join us, simply RSVP to Vicky Jackson, program director, at pdadw.ihad@gmail.com.
- We also want to tell our volunteers and donors how much we appreciate their support. If you have been a mentor, coach, tutor, driver, financial supporter or feel connected to IHAD in any way, ministry leaders would love to say “thank you” and honor those who have been so faithful all these years. Join us for a Thank You Celebration on June 23, from 5-7 p.m. in the Hamilton Room/Garden. Please call the reservation line by Monday, June 18 at 404-873-7777 and join in the celebration!
- And, finally, look for a short “history” of IHAD in the upcoming June 1 Shepherd’s Voice.
