TODAY’S SPECIAL EVENTS

MARCH 31, 2013

The following is a list of events occuring today at St. Luke’s. For other events and upcoming information, pick up a COMMUNION MONTHLY, available at the end of the pews and at the Information Desk in the Narthex.

Welcome! Thank you for choosing to worship at St. Luke’s this Easter Sunday morning! If you are a visitor, please stop by one of our Welcome Centers for some information about the church and a gift, then travel north down our West Passage to the Great Hall, where you can enjoy coffee and donuts. If there is information you would like to share with us, please take a moment to fill out an Information Card in the pew rack and place it in the offering plate. Have a question? Look for one of our ushers, greeters or staff members wearing a “How May I Help You?” button -they’ll be glad to assist. We are honored to celebrate the resurrection of Christ with you today, and hope you will return -- we’re here every Sunday!

April Communion Monthly The newest issue is available now in the stands by the main doors and in the Narthex, as well as in the church office, and it is always available at www.stlukesumc.com to download and share, The Communion Monthly contains all the information you need to get engaged in the church.

Easter Lily Lists A list of all those who purchased Easter lilies in memory or honor of family and friends is available at the Welcome Center in the Narthex, and at www.stlukesumc.com where you can easily view the list and share it with others. If you purchased a lily, thank you. You may take a plant home at the conclusion of the 11:15 service.

Easter Offering An Easter Offering envelope is enclosed in today’s Worship Guide for your use in making a special gift today, which will be used by the church to help others find and receive hope through our various ministries. Thank you for sharing your gifts for God’s transformative work.

Habitat for Humanity Stop by the Habitat table this morning outside the main entrance to leave a message or your handprints on the boards that will be used to build a home for the Davis family, and your $10 (or more) donation. We are still quite a ways from the $85,000 needed. Thank you.

Donuts Don’t see donuts in Fellowship Hall this morning? Do-nut worry . . . they’re in the Great Hall!
