Fall Happenings and Congregational Development Opportunities, A Message from The Rev. Laura F. Gettys. Connections and Resilience abound here at Grace-St. Luke’s! We are in our 5-week series of sacred storytelling small groups. Each week these 5 groups meet to engage, reflect, and connect with one another while honoring safety protocols. The feedback and energy have been full of gratitude and hope. And so, with this same enthusiasm and hearing the feedback from the recent congregational development survey, we are planning an outdoor concert at Snowden Field coming up Friday, November 13. Come as you are able to enjoy an evening with musical talents Posey Hedges, Jim Spake, and John Gaskill as they play a “genrebending mix” of tunes from 5-7 p.m. with the field opening at 4:30 p.m. for arrivals and setting up in everyone’s socially distanced chalk area. Details, including the signup link, are below and watch for additional information in future eNews, on Facebook, and on the website. (Follow this link for more from Laura+.)
