WELCOME VISITORS!Areyou a new reader? Come visit us! Were so glad thatyou picked up this publication; we hope you will findit interesting and worth your time and we hope youwill take the next step and worship with us sometime.If you are worshiping with us, we welcome you!Whatever your religious background, and howeveryou have come to be here, we welcome you to St.Lukes. Please let us know who you are by signingour guest book (by the door) or filling out a cardfound in the pews. You can hand your card to anusher, or put it in the collection plate when it comeslater.

P.2

We can gain an even larger perspective by consider that the Go spel of John the latest of the Canonical

gospelswas probab ly composed around the year 100. Matthew and Luke probably date from the 70s-

80s, and M ark, the oldest of the four prob ably from the late 60s. That means that when St. Lukes came

into existence the gospels were already almost 1,800 years old. And if we allow the approximate date of 4

BCE for the birth of Jesus, that means that St. Lukes was actually founded 1,86 5 years after the birth of

the founder of Christianity.My po int is not to minimize the St. Lukes achievement in remaining viable for 150 years. On the

contrary, my point is that there is no reason to believe that Christianity is going away. The church has

struggled through difficult times before, and it has survived to grow stronger. There is no reason that we

should not begin to prepare now for our next 15 0th anniversary; not by getting a caterer and fixing up the

hall but by encouraging new people to join us. And we can begin that this month too, as we hold our

bring a friend Sunday on October 3 0. We should see this event as kicking off our next 150 years.

God bless.

Council Memories

I thought NationalAssembly was fun,

but I was so off track.You don't know whatfun is until you go toWorld Council! Thisyears World Council

took place in Ireland! It was my first time going toWorld Council and Ireland. We were staying at a

boarding school, Kings Hospital. The weather was

nice; it was just perfect! It was an experience I don'tthink anyone could ever forget. To meet people from

all around the world in just two weeks is really justsomething special, and whats even better is when Imade connections with girls who I can call myfriends.

When I first got there, I was extremely anxious to

know who my roommates were and to just seefriends I haven't seen since National Assembly 2010.Of course it started to rain a little bit, but it onlyrained a few times during our visit. A couple hourshad passed by and more people started to arrive. Myanxiety grew more and more, until I finally got toknow who my roommates were. I was rooming withOlivia and Brooke from Connecticut and Samanthaand Synae from Pennsylvania! I knew them from

National Assembly 2010 and GFS meetings.During our visit, we had long meetings but that's notall we did! We got to see some parts of Ireland, and

if I must say so myself, it is gorgeous! I've neverseen so much green in my life. It looked like adream, the mountains, the animals, the open bluesky. Everything was so OLD, the buildings, artifacts,and the churches. We visited a lot of churches duringthe couple weeks and they were all beautiful,especially Christ Church, Dublin. I felt like I was ina castle!Everything isn't old though, their fashion is up tostyle. When I first got there I thought I'd see people

wearing long skirts and shirts, but I was wrong. Theyhave a unique sense of style. Shorts with tights, andtights are really big in Ireland and most of Europe.Although their fashion was unique, that's not theonly thing that caught my eye. They were driving onthe other side of the road! I actually almost got hit

by a car, instead of a car slowing down for you,YOU stop for a car.

Also their alphabet is a little different theypronounce their "h" and "z" differently. Ohand how could I forget about their cute

accents! I even started speaking with anIrish accent after a few days.My experience was altogether awesome. Iseriously can't wait for the next WorldCouncil in Wales in 2014! It's going to begreat.
