FOCUS ON WORSHIP
Season after Pentecost / Ordinary Time: The Season after Pentecost constitutes the second half of the
Church year and makes up the longest portion of it. This season follows the Easter season and the feasts of
Easter, Ascension, and Pentecost. This season ends on the Saturday before the First Sunday of Advent. It
may extend over a period of twenty-eight Sundays. The season’s length is determined by the date set for
Easter. It mainly concerns Christ's preaching and ministry, with many of his parables read as the Gospel
readings. This is the Time of the Church–the time we focus on growing together in the life of the Holy
Trinity. During the Sundays after Pentecost we decorate the church with the color green which is the color
for this season. Green is the color of growing plants and life. As growing plants need water and nourishment,
so we can only grow by living in our Baptisms and receiving the Lord’s Word and Sacraments. In the Time
of the Church, we focus on the life of Christ in His Church as He guides us to grow in “faith toward God and
in fervent love toward one another.” The appointed Gospels for the Sundays after Pentecost are full of Jesus’ teachings, such as His parable, words of wisdom, and debates with the Pharisees. We also hear the Word of
the Old Testament prophets, who are inspired by the Spirit to foretell Jesus’ coming, as the word of the
apostles, sent forth by Jesus to preach in the power of the Spirit. The Time of the Church is a time to grow
in godly knowledge. Through His Word, Jesus is still making disciples of all those who will follow Him.

FREE MUSIC CAMP
July 16 – 20, 2018 at St. Luke’s!
Last July we held our first Summer Music Camp. Twenty-one youth from kindergarten to eighth grade attended the five-day camp. This year we will be holding our 2nd Annual FREE Summer Music Camp for children in grades K – 8 from July 16 – 20. During those days we will rehearse from 9 – 3 each day and then present “Once Upon a Parable” a biblical-based musical on Friday, July 20th at 6:30 pm.
“Once Upon a Parable” is a 45 minute musical which features stories of Jesus such as: the wise man and the foolish man, the good Samaritan, the mustard seed, the parable of the vineyard, and the prodigal son, which is the centerpiece of the musical. Campers and volunteers may register for the camp at:

Mark your calendars: IMANI MILELE Children’s Choir from Uganda Thursday, July 12, 2018 at 7:00 pm
Imani Milele is a team of passionate and determined individuals dedicated to working with Uganda's orphaned and many underprivileged children, enabling them to reach their full potential.
Currently serving over 3000 children in Uganda, with the help of groups and individuals like you, we're forming a strong and passionate team helping to make a difference, one child at a time.
Hospitality is needed: 18 children in the choir and 8 chaperones need housing and breakfast for two nights (July 11 & 12.) Each house would need to house 2 – 3 children and 1 chaperone.

SANCTUARY FLOWERS
Would you like to place Flowers
on the Altar on Sunday?
If so, please sign up on the
Flower Chart in the Fellowship Hall.
Questions?
Please see the information below
or call the Office at 804-272-0486.
Flower Dedications
The Ministry of flowers is an important part of the Sunday Service at St. Luke Lutheran. Flowers are used
to beautify our sanctuary and are a gift to God and those who attend Worship services.
Altar flowers may be dedicated to “The Glory of God”, “In Memory of” a loved one or “In Honor of” a
special person, an anniversary, birthday, birth, baptism or other special event. More than one person may find a
certain date important so flowers may be given in more than one name on any given Sunday.
If you would like to donate and dedicate flowers for any Sunday service, arrangements cost $27.00 each. You will be billed
directly from Coleman Brothers Flowers and the flowers will be delivered to the church. The flowers are yours to take home
after the service that Sunday or you can ask that they be taken to one of our ill or homebound members. Please return the
container the flowers are in to the church at your convenience. You may sign up on the chart located in the fellowship hall.
The 2018 Flower Chart Calendar
The 2018 Flower Calendar is hanging in the fellowship hall. To those of you who give flowers every year during the same time frame, thank you. If you’re new to St. Luke or haven’t signed up yet to provide Sunday Altar Flowers, won’t you consider doing so? Flowers may be given in more than one name on any given Sunday. If your date seems to be taken, please sign up anyway or call the church office to do so. Flowers can be planned for a date on or near your special date, to occur yearly. Just let us know and we will automatically add your info to the Flower Calendar each year. If you have any questions or would like more information about Altar Flowers, please contact Tammy in the office at 804-272-0486 or [email protected]. You can also contact Jean Stewart, our sacristan, at 804-276-2690. Thank you.
THANK YOU! Thank you to everyone that signed up for our open Altar Flowers dates. We appreciate it.
We now have at least one arrangement of flowers for every Sunday for the rest of the year.
Please remember, Altar Flowers may be given in more than one name on any given Sunday.
We love when we have two arrangements for Sunday morning so please feel free to check out the chart!
If your date seems to be taken, please sign up anyway or call the church office to do so. The Altar Flower Chart
is hanging in the fellowship hall near the kitchen.

“God’s Work, Our Hand’s”
Rise Against Hunger Meal Packing Event
September 8, 2018, 9:30am to 11:30am
This year we are once again uniting with “Rise Against Hunger” (formerly Stop Hunger Now) to
make meals for the hungry throughout the world. We plan to break last year’s record of 20,000 meals!
We packaged 20,000 meals in two hours. Wow! That’s a tremendous amount! We thank everyone that
helped us last year, our church members young and older and other friends of St. Luke. As you can see by
the pictures below, we worked hard but had a great time doing it! We hope to see you again this year on
September 8, 2018, 9:30am to 11:30am.
“Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those
who trespass against us;” As we go into the world and care for those who do not have
their “daily bread” we also tell the wonderful love and life in Jesus Christ. We are
fulfilling Jesus command to go into all the world and tell the Good News of Jesus Christ
to everyone!
What can I do besides helping pack the meals? You can donate to our “Rise Against Hunger” project.
We need to raise $6,000.00. Please write “ Rise Against Hunger” on the memo line of your check.
Please contact Marty Witthoefft to sign up to help pack the meals or is you have any questions.
