Sunday Breakfast
Breakfast this Sunday, August 11, will be provided by guest chefs, Nelson & Janice Toebbe.
   
 
Our Sunday class topic is on "The Roots of Christian Mysticism". Taught by Father Michael, this course will last for several weeks.
 
Please plan on joining everyone in Board Hall between 8:30am and 9:45 where you will not only enjoy great food but a time for fellowship.   
   
SAVE THE DATE!! 
On Friday, September 13th at 7:00pm, the Rt. Rev. Terry Allen White, Bishop of Kentucky, will, God willing, ordain the Rev. Allison Caudill to the Sacred Order of Priests here at St. Luke's. 

More details will be forthcoming in the weeks to come.  Ordinations are relatively rare events in the life of a parish, and they are incredibly powerful spiritual experiences, so I hope we can all be together that night .

Lemonade on the Lawn is back! 
Meet us on the front lawn after the 10am service for refreshments and mingling.  
 
Get to know those you've never met before and talk to those you do know. It's a great time for all.
 
_______________________________________________________ 

We also need volunteers to help keep this going. Contact the church office (245-8827) or Nancy Webb (939-5910) for questions or to volunteer.

 
We are needing the following Sunday's filled:

This is a FUN way to MEET and GREET others! 

 
Wednesday Evening Worship Resumes 
Our Wednesday worship will resume on August 21st at 6:00pm, and we'll be making some changes to how we've done it before. 

First, we'll start with a brief sing-along with hymns from a wide-range of sources, including many familiar favorites not in our regular Hymnal. 

Then we'll move on to Evening Prayer and Holy Communion.  In the past, this entire service was said, but we will start chanting at least one piece of this liturgy.  For those who think they can't sing, don't let this ward you away.  Trust me, you'll enjoy it more than you might think. 

Only a very small percentage of people are truly "tone-deaf," and if you can sing along with the radio, where the songs are designed to be sung by a single person instead of a crowd of people, then this sacred music, which is specifically designed to be sung by everyone, will be well within your range.  And besides, the Psalm says, "Make a joyful noise." 

Look forward to seeing you at our midweek worship soon.

Sing Along 
Let's get together for a Sing-Along on Monday, August 26th at 6:30pm in the Church. There are only so many hymns we can sing during worship every weekend.  This will give us a chance to enjoy some of our favorites that we don't get to sing very often. 

In addition to the Hymnal 1982 and Songs of Praise and Worship, we'll have a selection of several dozen pieces to choose from that aren't in either of those books.  Golden oldies you might have grown up on, especially if you were once Baptist, Methodist, etc., like "Because He Lives," "How Great Thou Art," "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms," and many, many more.  We sing about an hour, longer if we like.

Now accepting students for Fall 2019 for piano, voice or organ study.  Please contact Lisa Lewis for details at 502-593-8417 or [email protected]. 

Feel free to share with friends and neighbors!

St. Luke's Book Club
YOU ARE INVITED to St Luke's Book Club on August 21 at 7:00. Our book selection for August is  The World's Fastest Man: The Extraordinary Life of Cyclist Major Taylor, America's First Black Sports Hero, written by Michael Kranish.

MEETING INFO: Lyman House, August 21, THIRD (3rd) Wednesday monthly at 7:00 PM for 2+- hours of rousing conversations and introductions to books of almost every genre. At the end of each meeting, we discuss books for the next month's selection, so bring your suggestions with you. We invite you to join us!

HomeLife Event Calendar
I am happy to compile events going on in the lives of our parishioners that they would like for other parishioners to support/attend, such as musical recitals, sporting events, business openings, craft shows, horse shows, etc. For example, if I had a booth at the Cherokee Art Festival and wanted everyone to support me, that could be something we could add to the weekly email, bulletin and/or website.  
 
Hope this explains what I am trying to do. People can send their events to me at [email protected] and I can get them to you. Thanks! Shaun McEntire
