| Join us online for Morning Prayer – Wednesdays at 8am starting August 17 – Join our diocesan intern, Kate Rademacher, for Morning Prayer on Zoom on Wednesday mornings at 8am starting August 17. As part of her discernment to potential ordination, Kate is strongly encouraged to pray the Daily Office, and she is eager to do this in community with people at St. Luke’s who may want to participate. Whether you have a long-standing practice of praying the Daily Office or whether it’s brand new to you, everyone is welcome! Join us online using this Zoom link: https://bit.ly/3dsRusD . For questions, please contact Kate. Save the date: fall congregational transition meetings – Last spring, Interim Rector Rhonda Lee facilitated a series of congregational meetings focusing on transition. It’s already time to plan our second set, which will take place in September. Each meeting will last about an hour and a half. Each parishioner is asked to attend one meeting in the fall, whether or not you attended one in the spring. The fall meetings will take place on: Sunday 11 September, 11:30 a.m. (right after the 10:30 Eucharist), in the nave Tuesday 13 September, 7 p.m., on Zoom Wednesday 14 September, 7 p.m., on Zoom Sunday 18 September, 11:30 a.m. (right after the 10:30 Eucharist), in the nave. At the fall meetings, you will have the opportunity to share feelings, hopes, and commitments for the current and future St. Luke’s. This sharing will take place in small groups and in the plenary. Everyone will be invited to speak; no one will be required to. Please plan to attend, and if you know someone who used to attend St. Luke’s but doesn’t currently, please invite them! Sports apparel for sale at the Fling (October 9-15)… Here’s a new addition to this year’s Fling. Do you have a well-loved UNC sweatshirt that you just don’t wear anymore, or maybe a Duke Blue Devils tee that doesn’t quite fit like it did a few pounds ago? Normally, clothing is not accepted for the sale. However, this time around we’re creating a special category for college and sports team logo clothing such as t-shirts, sweatshirts/ hoodies, caps, jackets, and related items. Good examples are items from area schools and teams such as Tarheels, Blue Devils, Eagles, Hurricanes, and of course the Durham Bulls(!), other professional teams such as the Carolina Panthers or Atlanta Braves, or even your far-off alma mater, no matter how big or small. We’d like to be able to offer really nice items for a good price, so please hold back anything that isn’t in great shape. Marlys Ray will be organizing these items, and would love to receive your donations in advance so they can be sorted and priced early. Contact Marlys Ray if you want to make your donations early. |
