MONTHLY
COMMUNION Inspiring Places, November 6-15 2010 ANNUAL FUND CAMPAIGN
During this year’s annual fund campaign, we will be challenged to think about the concept of having “enough,” and how we live our lives financially and spiritually in challenging times and in times of plenty. During November Dr. Millard will be preaching on the themes of The Joy of Simplicity, The Joy of Gratitude, The Joy of Generosity, and the Joy of Contentment. Please prayerfully consider during this period of time how God has blessed your life and how you would like to return the blessings through God’s work being done at St. Luke’s. Consecration Sunday is November 22. We invite the congregation to return their Gratitude Cards by this date as we give thanks to God for God’s generosity to us, and our ability to be generous in return. Join us for a free brunch given by the Stewardship Commission as a small token of our appreciation for your support of God’s work through St. Luke’s with your commitment of time, talent and treasure.
From Ordinary Space to Sacred Place What happens to transform your own backyard, a grocery store check-out line, a ball diamond or the corner of Meridian and Washington Streets into a memorable and treasured place? Five Central Indiana luminaries will share their personal stories of how an ordinary space was infused with special meaning for them. Singer/songwriter Carrie Newcomer will tell her own experience and then intersperse her favorite songs about sacred spaces as WISH-TV co-anchor Deanna Dewberry, business leader Michael Maurer (honorary chair of 2009 festival), speaker and former WTHR news anchor Anne Ryder, and Marion County Superior Court Judge David Shaheed tell their personal stories. This evening of music and story will invite you into the 2009 Inspiring Places festival and spark your thinking and conversation about sacred places in your own life. Donations welcomed. St. Luke’s has the honor of being chosen to host the Opening and Closing Signature Event for this year’s Spirit and Place Festival. Please plan to attend and provide hospitality to all those from our central Indiana community who may be visiting St. Luke’s for the first time.
