COMMUNION Dalai Lama On Friday, May 14 at 9:30AM, Indianapolis has the distinct honor to host His Holiness the Dalai Lama in a public talk at Conseco Fieldhouse. The program, expected to draw an audience from around the globe, will be hosted by the Interfaith Hunger Initiative, (IHI), the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center (TMBCC) of Bloomington, and the Indianapolis-based Indiana Buddhist Center (IBC), forging a new partnership among organizations whose mission of community outreach and service is universal. The title of the talk, “Facing Challenges with Compassion and Wisdom,” reflects the core mission of these groups as well as speaking directly to issues central to today’s world. “The Indianapolis Interfaith Hunger Initiative is honored to be one of the sponsoring organizations of the Public Talk to be given by His Holiness the Dalai Lama at Conseco Friday, May 14,” Dr. Kent Millard said. “His Holiness will speak about wisdom and compassion. We express compassion when we feed the hungry around us and in other nations, and we express wisdom when we work together across religious lines to more effectively care for families and children in need.” Tickets for the Indianapolis event are available at the Conseco box office or at area Ticketmaster locations. General admission tickets are $25; student tickets are $15. Additional information may be obtained at www.stlukesumc.com and www.consecofieldhouse.com.

We all have opportunities to change our world. We’ve been in Spring Training; now’s the TIME to launch out and love our community with every possibility of grace, peace, and justice. Look through the May 2010 Communion for the globe logo to find opportunities in many program areas that may inspire you to “Turn the World Upside Down.”
Habitat for Humanity We’re back! St. Luke’s has partnered with other local United Methodist churches to help build a two-story, four-bedroom home at 3119 N. Capitol in the fall of 2010 for a deserving family. In addition to providing construction volunteers, St. Luke’s has committed to contributing a minimum of $5,000 toward the build. On May 23, volunteers will be selling 2x4 wooden boards for $52 each which can be signed and will become a part of the home construction with the proceeds going toward sponsorship. The sale will take place in the West Passage all morning before and after services. If you would like to volunteer to help with the sale or the project in general, please contact Kristin or Sara Rogers at 844-0304 or kristinrogers@mac.com.
