Youth Group This Week

Youth Group last week:

We hope that all our youth and their families enjoyed a fun and safe Halloween this past weekend. It was wonderful to hear all of the costumes the youth chose and the stories from this spooky season. On Sunday we gathered for a special All Saints Day youth group where we discussed the history of the day in the Church and what it means to be a saint.

This Sunday we continue our regularly scheduled middle and high school sessions and our discussion on the changing digital landscape of society and what that means for the Church and our faith lives. As we move further into November, we will switch to our Advent lesson later in the month.

As a reminder to parents, if you ever need to reach me my phone number is: (210)687-3314.

Sunday Morning Formation

This Sunday we continue our youth formation series focused on scripture from the Bible. During this series we will look at each of the books of the Bible and explore the underlying social, historical, and cultural context for each of the texts and allow for a greater exploration of the lessons Christ has for us.

The youth morning formation continues 11/08 during the 10am formation hour.

Good Sam Holiday Bag Drive Begins Nov 1st

Join St. Luke’s in supporting Good Samaritan Community Services this holiday season! This year we have expanded the ways to participate with three ways to get involved in our annual Holiday Bag Drive. This project with Good Sam, a long time Episcopal ministry, provides Christmas dinner staples and a turkey voucher to local families in need.

• Bring a Bag: Pick up a “shopping list” and reusable bag in the Narthex, then fill it with the listed items (such as canned goods or paper plates). Bags will be available beginning Sunday November 1st. Return filled bags by Sunday, November 29.
• Provide Items in Bulk: Parishioners can select one of the items from the “shopping list” and provide that item in bulk which will be used to assemble bags together as a parish
• Stuff the Bags: Help assemble bags during First Wednesdays in December—a great service project for both kids and adults that is open to all ages! We will gather in the parlor on Wednesday, December 2nd.
