Dear World: A Book Study ... Please join the Refugee Ministry at 10:15 a.m. on
Sundays, October 21 and 28 to discuss Bana Alabed’s beautiful and moving book,
Dear World: A Syrian Girl’s Story of War and Plea for Peace. Bana became known worldwide in 2016, when the 7-year-old began sending out tweets from inside the siege of Aleppo. Dear World tells the story of the Syrian civil war in her own words, interspersed with letters from her mother. The result is a heartrending story of a family trapped in war, but also a poignant narrative from within one of the largest humanitarian crises in history. The book is a quick read, but is by no means “easy.” The group will discuss Bana’s story and how we as Christians can respond in love to a crisis so large. Please contact Jon Tonge for more information at
jtonge@gmail.com.

Adult Education offerings this Sunday:
Rule of Life | Parish Hall
A rule of life is an ancient tradition created by monastic communities of old, but they are getting a lot of attention and a fresh look by people who see them as life-giving ways for people to add spiritual depth to their everyday lives. Join St. Luke’s rector, The Rev. Dan Matthews, for a two-part examination of the ancient tradition and how it might make a difference in your life.
Bible Study on the Sunday Scripture | Parkins Room
Further explore God’s Word in the scripture assigned for worship each Sunday. We all see the world through the filter of life experience and life transitions. This Bible Study is designed to engage us in a deeper exploration of the day’s texts, acknowledging the lens of life experiences we bring to that study. No preparation necessary. Drop in as you are able. This class invites you to come, engage the Scripture and respond to God’s word.
The Sunday Papers | St. Luke Room
Join Jonathan Serrie for a free-flowing discussion about current events, faith and their intersection in our daily lives. Our discussions each week will be informed by scripture, national or local news sources. All views, thoughts and opinions are welcomed and encouraged.
