Parish Notes • July 15, 2012

What’s happening…

Pictorial Directory - The process of developing the 2012 Saint Luke’s Pictorial Directory continues. We are very happy with the number of parishioners who took part – thanks to all who participated! If for some reason you were unable to have your photo taken, you may email a recent photo to stlukes@estlukes.org, or send us one on a CD. (If it is a professional photo, we need a release from your photographer to print it in the new directory.) We want everyone to be included in this directory! Contact Lynn White (whites575@aeneas.net or 668-4120) if you have any questions.

New Foyer Groups Begin in August. Foyer groups are an easy and enjoyable way for parishioners to get to know one another – especially newcomers and folks who go to different services – in an informal social setting. Once each month, over a four month period, group members meet at one another’s home or at a restaurant for a simple dinner, to get to know each other. Each time groups are reassigned to meet new people. If you are interested, please sign up on the bulletin board near the parish office or contact Bob or Fran Beare at 731-444-1000.

ECW Sunday Brunch – The ECW will have Sunday Brunch August 26^th after the 10:30 a.m. service. This will be a social gathering for the ladies of the parish offering a time for good food and Christian fellowship. Also, we will provide more information on the fall luncheon and dinner (also known as the Calendar party by many) and the retreat at St. Columba planned in February 2013. Please mark your calendars and make your plans to attend!

Episcopal Churchmen of Tennessee Annual Gathering at DuBose Conference Center, Monteagle, TN., August, 17 – 19 - This year’s conference – “RUN WITH ENDURANCE THE RACE SET BEFORE YOU” – is about persevering through adversity from a sports perspective. Our speakers, all of whom have a sports background or are involved in the world of sports, will energize us and help us run the race of life with endurance. This year's speakers are: Former University of Tennessee Volunteers Head Football Coach Phillip Fullmer, The Rev. Colenzo Hubbard, priest of the Diocese of West Tennessee and member of the 1973 National Championship (and three SEC championships) Alabama Crimson Tide football team under Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant, and Rudy Kalis, sports director at WSMV-TV in Nashville and sports reporter and anchor at WSMV since August 1974. Please visit their website at www.EpiscopalChurchmen.net for conference details and for registration. Ron Canter is the parish keyman and he will be happy to provide information about the conference if you have never attended before.

Christian Education for Adults…

The Tuesday evening Bible study led by Gene Davenport meets each week at 7:00 p.m. We are now studying the Book of Acts and all of you are invited. The class is in discussion formant and is not a lecture.

The Wednesday Morning Bible Study led by Dr. Brady Whitehead is on break for the summer. Classes will resume after Rally Day.

The Upper Room Class will go on summer hiatus after May 20. There will be no adult Sunday school starting the weekend of Memorial Day. We will resume on Rally Day in the fall, when we will begin a study of comparative religions. Our study will be centered on Huston Smith’s book, The Worlds Religions.

This class will meet each Sunday in June in the Saint Luke’s Library at 9:15 a.m. In this course we’ll discuss the Sacraments and their meanings, church history, along with the origins of the Episcopal Church, the way that we approach this Christian faith of ours, and what difference it makes to you. Everyone is welcome, you don’t have to be new!
