Christmas CarolingTuesday, Dec. 19, 6:00pm
Join your St. Luke’s family and Cub Scout Pack 40 as we go out to spread some Christmas Cheer to our neighbors and
homebound members. Meet in Hospitality Hall at 6:00pm to get your route and songbooks.
Invite your friends and neighbors to the 11:00 worship next week, Dec. 17 as the Chancel Choir, along with the Wesley Bells, Organ, and Brass Quintet, present, “Holy Light: A Service of Carols.” This will be a time
to ring in the Christmas spirit and share the story of the Holy Birth.
