** WELCOME TERRY! **

St. Luke's welcomes Terry Hamilton as the newest addition to our Church Staff.

Some of you may know Terry from her work with Stage 4, and now she will be joining us as St. Luke's new Bookkeeper.

Keep her in your prayers as you pray for the leadership and staff, and if you're in the office, stop in and say, "Hello."

Lenten Teaching Series

Lent is a chance to see our need for God, renew our spiritual lives, and give us a new appreciation for the grace of God and his incredible love for us.

Join us beginning this Sunday, March 5th, after our Morning Worship service as we talk about some of the common themes that run through this wilderness season and how they can help us walk closer with Jesus as we prepare to fully enter into the joy of the Easter season.

We’ll be pulling a lot of ideas from Esau McCaulley’s "Lent: a season of Repentance and Renewal." (Order a copy if you want to read along, but you won’t be required to read it in order to join us).

Come join us in "Bob's Cafe" after the service for a time of fun, fellowship, and delicious food.

This Sunday's Menu:

Irish Beef Stew

Roasted Cabbage, Potatoes, Carrots

Garden Salad, Fruit Salad

Dessert

All donations cover the cost of food. Extra proceeds will go to our outreach ministries.

Creative Journaling

Come join our Creative Journaling Group at Linda Tompkin's Glory Barn. (just 3 miles from St. Luke's).

The group meets the second and fourth Mondays of the month from 6:00 - 9:00 PM.

No previous art training or experience is necessary to be part of this group. Drawing skills are not required.

Linda has many self-helps for your use in her studio including the stencils and stamps she used in creating her own journal pages.

Linda will be sharing various techniques she has used through her years of journaling. Each evening will focus on a different technique. Combining art with the written Word is a wonderful and rewarding way of connecting to self and the Lord.

Let Linda Tompkin know if you are interested by emailing her at linda@tompkinstudios.com.

Or call her at 330-697-6220.

The Glory Barn is located at 4780 Medina Rd. in Copley.

Dinner & "The Chosen"

On the first and third Saturday of each month at 6:00 PM in the Café, there will be a special time of fellowship and sharing a meal together, followed by an episode of “The Chosen”.

The next episode will be shown on Saturday, March 18th. 

See Gary or Chris Neffenger for more information.
