Gospel Reflexion
The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is at the center of everything we do and everything we are as Christians. We celebrate this most fully in the Great Three Days of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday: one liturgy in three acts. Join us each day at 7pm as we celebrate the very heart of our faith.
To access the building during the Holy Week services please use your normal Parishioner’s code.

Tea & Scones Book Club at St. Luke's is back!
We will be reading Madeleine L'Engle's A Circle of Quiet for our next book club selection. She is another of the great Episcopal writers and her works are very readable. Hopefully, her personal reflections will spark discussions about our own! It's divided into four sections with smaller sections within each, so we aren't working with clear chapters, but it should be doable. I've grouped it into six fairly equal parts of about 40 pages each (in my copy, which is the paperback). The book is available at local libraries, as well as through interlibrary loan at your local library, and at Barnes & Noble (online) as well as on Hoopla and Kindle as an ebook.
We will meet in the Fryer Room at 1:00 p.m. If you need a door code, Please contact Deacon Anne - or just ring the bell.
Tommy will be our barista once again!
Dates:
Skip Easter Sunday
April 12 (Section 2:2)
April 19 (Section 3:1-6) There is a performance rental in Fryer Hall, so we may want to meet at my house - we can discuss that

I look forward to seeing you!
