Sept. 2019

  From Your Rector:

My Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

 St. Luke’s is planning a “Homecoming.”  A homecoming is a celebration that many churches have every year. It is commonly celebrated around the time when the church was established and honors the longevity of the church, sort of like an anniversary or birthday celebration. This, for our parish, will be the Sunday closest to St. Luke’s Day (October 20, 2019).  Homecoming, as its name implies, is also a time when former members who have moved away traditionally come back to visit the church and see old friends.  We will be putting together a program to celebrate the rich history of St. Luke’s and to welcome old members back into our midst.  Of course, we will also enjoy a wonderful luncheon together.   The dedication of our new organ to the Glory of God and in loving memory of Linda Ratliff, along with specially prepared music will also be part of the day’s events. 

One of our first tasks will be to create a list of former parish members who have moved away, and other people who have been important to our church family.  This would include family members, children, grandchildren, and families of parishioners who have passed away.  Parishioners who may have attended St. Luke’s as children and moved away as young adults.  Our plan would include sending invitations about the homecoming celebration by mid-September so that out-of-town people can make arrangements to be here and share this wonderful day with us.

Please send us the names and addresses of anyone you would like to receive an invitation to this homecoming.  You can send them by email to geohinchliffe@gmail.com or Jasmine@stlukesliveoak.org or text to 386-249-2431.   If you have any questions or would like to help in making this a special occasion for everyone, please let either Jasmine or me know.  Also please pray for the success of this first annual homecoming.

In Christ,

George+
