WELCOME TO ST. LUCAS! We are glad you are here. Please fill out the I’m Here Today card in your

worship folder and drop it in the offering plate. May our Lord bless your worship with us.

CHILDCARE AREA & RESTROOMS For families with infants & toddlers there is a nursery area in the

lower church that has speakers so you may listen to the service while you attend your children. Re-

strooms are also in the lower church. You may access these areas via the narthex stairwell, stairwell by the baptis-

mal font or elevator. MEMORIAL/HOPE CANDLES Worshipers are invited to light candles in remembrance of a

loved one or a candle of hope against some darkness in their lives. These remain lit during the service only. Pray-

er intention candles are under the crucifixion side hymn board main sanctuary for Sunday worshipers and at the pillar by the

piano in the lower church for Saturday worshipers. SUNDAY SCHOOL September-May we offer Sunday School & breakfast for kids

through high school age every Sunday following the 10:30 Young People’s Homily.

St Lucas Garden News

Furrows, be glad. Though earth was bare, One more seed is planted there:

Give up your strength the seed to nourish, That in course the flower may flourish.

People, look east and sing today: Love, the rose, is on the way.

The St. Lucas Garden is full! As June trickles into July, the

strawberries are nearly done and the raspberries are offering a

few red juicy berries with more to come! There are ten varieties

of tomatoes planted, four different peppers, peas, beans (green

and yellow wax) carrots, cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, okra,

eggplant and beets! The herb bed is hosting

parsley, chives, spearmint, thyme, and oregano.

We have a bed full of dill, and there’s basil in

several beds as a companion plant to our toma-

toes. One bed has been devoted to a Big Max

Pumpkin Vine. Come and watch Big Max grow!

Our milkweed has taken over one end of the

flower bed and is regularly visited by Monarchs.

Our dill plants are feeding caterpillars that will be-

come beautiful Black Swallowtail butterflies, while

our lightweight row cover is frustrating the white

Cabbage butterflies whose Cabbage worms turned

our cabbages into lace last season.

Our new water tap for the garden should be

installed by the time you read this!! We’ve been

promised installation by Friday. We will no longer

have cars running across our hose stretched over Walbridge as

we water the plants.

A BIG Gardener Thank You to Serena and Stefan from Cin-

dy’s Corner, Sue and Keith Wendt, and of course, Randy Hyter

for planting, weeding, and other garden help this week.

Our garden is fully planted, but you can still experience the

joys of gardening. There’s always something to do. Contact me

at: mbiscay@hotmail.com or visit me in the garden after Sec-

ond Service on Sunday Morning or any Tuesday or Thursday.

Come experience God’s growing miracles!

Cultivatingly, Mike Biscay

SOLOIST THIS WEEK Rebecca McQueen will be singing

Amazing Grace as arranged by Len Rhodes at the 10:30 ser-

vice this weekend. Thank you, Rebecca!

Get the Word Out About St. Lucas

Money is one of God’s gifts to people.

Likewise all to whom God gives wealth and posses-sions and whom he enables to enjoy them, and to ac-cept their lot and find enjoyment in their toil — this is

the gift of God.

Ecclesiastes 5:19
