 Celebration of Ministries Stop by the Breezeway after the 10:00 a.m. service to learn about this Sunday's featured ministries. The St. Luke's Children's Ministry offers a variety of different opportunities for infants-5th graders in order to bring them and their families into a closer communion with the Lord. Throughout the year, the Children's Ministry offers Sunday School, Children's Chapel, service projects, a Christmas Pageant, monthly fellowship opportunities, and seasonal gatherings. Through our amazing teachers and volunteers, St. Luke's works to put Christ first in all they do, and to work together with parents in raising children that are close to God. St. Luke's Youth Ministry reaches students in this church and in the local neighborhood in pursuing an active relationship with their God. In a generation that sees God as simply something else on the agenda, St. Luke's youth ministry works to debunk this idea in offering a variety of Biblically sound options and opportunities for students in 6th-12th grade. Students meet weekly for Sunday School, Bible Study small groups, one-on-one discipleship, and service projects. Throughout the year, this group does service projects locally and around the country, holds fellowship nights, helps with children's ministry, attends diocese wide renewal events, and comes together for worship. Changes to the Ushers' Ministry We would like to rebuild the Ushers so that each usher is assigned to serve one week each month and we are expanding the Usher Team to include the women of the church. Weeks 2 and 3 are filled, but we need enough volunteers to complete weeks 1 and 4. Week 5 Usher Team We are looking to build a week 5 usher team with our teenagers. In 2012, there will be four months that have a fifth week, starting with January. Please contact Sarah Head if you would like to be a part of this ministry. Oblationers We are trying to build a list of couples and individual members who would like to oblate for the church. This ministry brings the host and wine down to the altar during each service. There is no age limit for the oblationers. Once we get this file built, we will be able to notify you during the week when it is your turn. If you wish to be a part of the Usher Team or the Oblationers, please respond to Pat Melugin at pmelugin@dallaspen.com. |
