Rally Day is
September 12! Join us for
education hour in the sanctuary from 9:45am until
10:45am. Bring your backpack for a backpack blessing.
There will be singing and an introduction of this year’s
Sunday School theme: Bring Your Own Bible (B.Y.O.B).
All kindergartners, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th graders will receive
Bibles. Everyone else try to remember to bring your Bible!
Due to construction there will be
no Block Party after the 11am worship on September 12.
From September 19 through
October 24 all PK3 through 6th grade will meet for the
first half of Sunday School in the sanctuary with Mrs.
Hoiland and Jeannine for music and a walk through the Bible.
The second half of the hour classes will be combined as
follows for special art projects for our new classrooms:
PK3/PK4, K/1st, 2nd/3rd, 4th/5th, 6th. Classroom space will
be announced closer to September 19, but will ALL be on the
lower level of the building. For questions please contact
Jeannine.
Please join us for a Saints and
Sinners Party on October 31 during Sunday School hour to
celebrate Reformation Sunday! Parents are invited to join
their children for this party. There will be music, drama
performance, snacks, and a costume contest - so make sure to
come dressed as your favorite saint or sinner! Contact
Jeannine if you are able to provide cookies, drinks, or
talents in cleaning up!
We look forward to having our
Sunday School classes in their new and permanent classrooms
beginning November 7 and continuing until May 15,
2011. We look forward to fun activities and projects in
September and October, but will be so grateful to live into
our new building in November.

of Christ dwell in you richly
In St. Luke's history, August 1, 2010, will be remembered as
the day the cornerstone for our new addition was placed. View the

including members writing their favorite Bible passage on
the new atrium's sub floor! Read the story in the
