Weekly Bulletin of St Luke’s Church

The Fourth Sunday of Easter
(Click for Pages: 1, 2, 3, 4)


Notes on Liturgy

At the 8 and 10 a.m. services we offer the healing rite in the chapel behind the pulpit.  It offers a chance to ask for prayers for healing, using the biblical tradition of the laying on of hands, as set forth in the Book of Common Prayer (page 456). 

Any who would like to take part in the healing rite are invited to go to the chapel directly after receiving communion.  If someone is already there receiving a prayer, simply wait outside the railing.  If you have questions, please feel free to speak to the clergy.

If you have a prayer request for next week’s bulletin, it may be placed in the book in the south narthex or you may call the church office.

Large print copies of today’s hymns are available from the ushers.  Large print editions of the hymnal are on order

Today’s  Flowers

Today’s flowers are given to the glory of God and in loving memory of James Braxton Craven, Jr. and William Truman Harris, Jr.
