Christmas Choir
Sing a song of Christmas!  Do you love Christmas music?  Are you able to carry small notes across the sanctuary?  It’s not too late to join us as we prepare music for our Lessons and Carols Service on Sunday morning, December 18.  If you are interested in joining us for the season, please come to rehearsals on Wednesdays at St. Luke’s at 7:00 pm. There is no rehearsal on Wednesday, November 23 but we will resume on November 30.  If you have any questions, give me a call, text, or email. We would love to have you as part of our Christmas choir during this joyous season. Carolyn Cutler (352-455-3353) thechirp70@aol.com

Feed a Family this Thanksgiving
Celebrate Thanksgiving this year by helping others. Provide a box of non-perishable items (a box of mashed potato mix, cans of vegetables, sauerkraut and/or sweet potatoes, a jar of gravy, a package of rolls, etc.) and a frozen turkey so that a local family in need can also celebrate Thanksgiving or donate grocery store gift cards so that food may be purchased. Cards with instructions should be obtained from Suzanne Sheahan at 410-827-7627.
