Looking Ahead - Leave a legacy

Please consider leaving your legacy, now and for future generations for the preservation and continuation of St. Luke's Anglican Church parish. Information leaflets on how to do this are available at the entrance lobby of the church or you can view/download a copy here.

The Parish Church of St. Luke's thanks you.


Memorial Donations

Please consider St. Luke's parish for donations in memory of your loved ones. This can be in lieu of flowers or simply a donation as charity. You will be contributing to the sustainability of St. Luke's in the community.


Summer Worship

From June to the end of August, Sunday worship at St. Luke's is combined into a single service at 9:30 AM.


Volunteers urgently required

Volunteers of either gender to strip paint on woodwork in our Rector's study/office. Please report to the parish office if you can spare an hour or more. Your help is much appreciated.


Gardeners

Have you any time to spare to weed St. Luke's flower gardens? If so, please contact Susan Tinsley.

 


Church House Availability

If you and your family will be celebrating a reunion, bridal or baby shower, birthday, or anniversary this summer, consider booking the Church House for your get-together. The kitchen can supply coffee urns and teapots. All other food and drink must be supplied by the users. As a parishioner, you have first dibs on availability.

Contact the parish office for costs and more information.


Columbarium

Not everybody knows that St. Luke's has a very nice Columbarium where the ashes of the deceased can be decently laid to rest. It is located in the Soldiers' Chapel, accessible by the main door to Church House. Single and double niches are available and these are being offered at a favourable and affordable rate (the initial cost includes perpetual care.) For details, contact Neil Almdal at 269-2312 or the parish office.


Education For Ministry (EFM)

EFM is a four-year program to deepen your ministry as a lay person. If you would like more information, please contact Susan Roe-Finlay or Pamela Whyte. There are four vacancies for the course commencing in September 2010.


Search for a new Organist and Choirmaster

Update: The Selection Committee for an Organist and Choirmaster is now constituted and hard at work: The Rector, the Assistant Priest, Lottie Enns Braun (external),
Heather Baxter Naughten, Morgana Graham, and Al Friesen -- all of whom are ready and willing to listen to any advice or suggestions.

Just as the Prayer Book used to insist that the bread at the Eucharist should only be "the best and purest wheat bread that conveniently may be gotten," so every effort will be made to appoint the very best available musician(s) the budget will allow and our choir deserves.


Prayer

If you have ever looked carefully at the list of names in the Sunday pew leaflet - the list of people for whom our prayers have been requested - you must have noticed that some names have been on the list for weeks, months, even years. A few have been put there so long ago that no one knows who they are or who requested the prayers.

Beginning this weekend, we are asking people to renew prayer requests at regular intervals. If you wish prayers for someone, we will happily add their name to the bulletin, but we will keep it there for two months only, unless you call or email the office to renew it.

Another form of prayer that is warmly supported by St. Luke's members is in the "St. Alban's Oratory." Near the side altar there is a wire screen with a number of tea-light candles, which people light as an act of prayer. Given the number of lights burning each Sunday, it is clear that many of us find this an important spiritual resource. Please be careful, however, when you use it: some have accidentally left the match in the tea-light, which has then burned with such a hot flame that the glass container of the light has broken.

Also in the St. Alban's Oratory, next to the candle screen, there is a box beside which are small scraps of blank paper. If you write the name of someone for whom you are praying, and put it in the box, that name remains before the altar for the next few days. These scraps of paper are then collected and read at the Thursday morning Eucharist in the chapel, after which the papers are destroyed. This resource is well used by parishioners; not a Sunday goes by without the box having plenty of prayer requests by the end of the 10:30 AM service.

Bulletin requests, prayer candles, and prayer requests in the box: St. Luke's is truly a house of prayer.


Parish email newsletters

An email message (#20) went out to more than 165 addresses in the parish database on June 17th. It continues our attempt to distribute current information about St. Luke’s as widely as possible.

If you do not receive emails with the name “St. Luke’s Parish Email” in the Subject line, and if you would like to be on the parish email list, please click here and let us know.

A copy of each message sent will be posted on the bulletin board in the Narthex.


Tuesday Hospitality

Our Tuesday morning Hospitality programme was particularly well attended last fall. Sometimes well over 30 people come in out of the cold for coffee, muffins, and other nourishing food. We give out a few essential toiletries, and a five-dollar Safeway grocery voucher (groceries only) to each guest. Five dollars doesn’t get you a lot, but with over thirty recipients a week, the cost adds up for the church. Donations are needed, and welcome. Please make a gift today by clicking here (in the place where it says, “Fund/Designation,” select “Tuesday Hospitality fund.”), or by cheque to St. Luke’s, specifying “Tuesday Hospitality” in the memo line.


In lieu of flowers…

If ever you have the sad duty of arranging a funeral for a loved one, consider including in the obituary notice: “In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Building Fund of St. Luke’s Anglican Church, 130 Nassau St. N. R3L 2H1.”

Of course you might also consider telling friends and family that such a designation would be your preference for your own funeral.  Remembering St. Luke’s in your will is another good thing to do.  It is a testament to the importance of this parish in your life.
