Ash Wednesday On February 22 at 7PM there will be an enriching Ash Wednesday worship service held in Robertson Chapel to mark the beginning of the Lenten season. Many find this to be a significant beginning for the 40-day journey of spiritual growth and reflection, culminating in the Easter celebration. Communion will be served, and the optional ‘imposition of ashes’ will be made available to all who attend.
Sundays in the South Once again, St. Luke’s members and friends can attend their home church away from home, in the sunny climate of southwest Florida. Come worship at North Naples United Methodist Church in Naples, Florida on six Sundays at 11AM with other St. Luke’s folks. Many thanks to the staff and congregation of North Naples UMC for extending this hospitality to us year after year. See the articles on Sundays in the South and the Habitat for Humanity Florida work trips in the January-March 2012 issue of St. Luke’s T.I.M.E. magazine, available at the church or online at www.stlukesumc.com/news&calendars /publications.
