Special Musical Guests
SpringHill Day Camp Registration
Today we welcome some very special guests who have traveled all the way from Zimbabwe to sing for you! The Africa University Choir has been participating in the past week’s Annual Conference, and we are blessed this morning to have their soulful, inspirational presence with us in worship. Africa University, supported by the United Methodist Church, is conducting a capital campaign to endow an Agriculture chair and several student scholarships. If you would like to make a gift to support that goal, please place it in today’s offering plate (checks may be made payable to “St. Luke’s UMC” with “Africa University” on the memo line, or cash gifts placed in an offering envelope with “Africa University” indicated on the Special Offering line). We are grateful to be able to share in the gifts and talents of these young men and women.
In addition to our annual Summer Splash week-long, halfday opportunity for children, this year St. Luke’s is offering a full-day camp experience for children who have completed kindergarten-4th grade. SpringHill Day Camp will take place July 8-12, 9AM-4PM. Get all the details in the Communion Monthly or at www.stlukesumc.com.
Eco-Habit is "Visit a Farmers' Market" This morning, the Green Ministry brings a hint of a Farmers' Market to you. Stop by (P)reservation, owned by Melanie Miles, for jams, jellies and preserves. Find a list of local Farmers' Markets and pick up a punch card to win a Harvest Basket. Outside the main doors from 9-11AM.
Recycled Art in Galleries Catherine Cunningham’s joy is to create sculptures/assemblages and collages with used materials that would otherwise be discarded, lost or eventually decay in landfills. Hear stories about her pieces today at the artist's reception in the "Identity" Gallery, 10:30AM-12:30PM. This is the exhibit for June in both "Identity" and "Vision" Galleries.
