REMEMBER TO PRAY: For our prayer list and our missionaries.
| CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY OR OTHER SPECIAL OCCASION by placing a contribution in the offering bank on the table at the Church entrance. This money goes to Celeste Handy to continue her missionary work in New Mexico. In a recent telephone call, Celeste asked for serious prayer concerning her present situation in New Mexico. She has no plans presently to move back on campus at the University there. She finished last year $7,000 short, and she now needs $7,000 more for this year. She asks that your prayers include her present situation. Her address is: 709 South Fourth Street, Gallup, New Mexico 87301. |
| ST. LUKE'S HISTORIC NOTE CARDS are available for purchase once again. Persons wishing cards will find them on the table at the Church entrance on Sundays in August. Money produced by card sales is used for projects and other worthwhile endeavors. The cards depict our beautiful and poignant Resurrection Window above the Altar in the Church proper. The window was given over 80 years ago in memory of Lily Conally Morehead by her daughter, Lily Morehead Mebane. Cards are blank inside for your writing convenience. Cost: $5.00 per pack. |
YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED...to the annual Ice Cream Social to be held Sunday afternoon, August 22 beginning at 5:00 p.m. Bring the entire family and a freezer full of that cold, delicious ice cream. Or, you may bring other items, such as cookies. The social will be held on the driveway behind the Church. |
| PLEASE NOTE: If you would like to be placed on the emergency prayer chain list (alerted about an ill person who needs immediately prayer), please sign your name as soon as possible. The sheet can be found on the table at the Church entrance. Remember, that after you are called, you must call someone else to keep the chain moving. |
| REV. GUY RAINSFORD UPDATE: Word comes that the Rev. Guy Rainsford's recent surgery well well, with no complications. He sends his thanks to all who prayed for his surgery and recuperation. He returned to Kenya on August 1st. His wife, Susan, flew back earlier to be with the couple's children still in Kenya. He sends thanks for everyone's continued and faithful prayers and extra financial gifts during his surgery and recovery time, and asks for continued prayer for his healing and outreach. |
A WORD FROM JOCELYN: God breathed into human beings and made us in His image. We received a mind, body and spirit. Today, we hear much about "eat right" and "exercise" to keep the body fit. We need education for a life and a job and to keep the mind alert. But, the third part lasts forever. What do we do? Daily Bible reading and prayer. At St. Luke's at 9:55 a.m. in Sunday School class is an excellent way to grow spiritually. People who memorize the Bible have increased their school, college and work grades! Bible verses will truly bring wisdom to all situations. Come to Sunday School!! |
