Godly Gazette

My Brothers and Sisters in Christ: The month of June and Summer are upon us! Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit is just around the corner, on June 4th. Pentecost is a time of fulfill-ment in Churches throughout the world and represents God’s gift and empow-erment for the church. It is technically the church’s birthday, since the coming of the Holy Spirit brings the church into existence and gives it life. The entire liturgical season following Pentecost, 25 weeks, is a time for us as Christians to live into our baptismal covenant and fulfill the responsibilities of “Being A Christian.” It is a season for us to spread our wings and get about the task of bringing Christ to the world, and the world to Christ. This time also represents a challenge, because it seems that we are conditioned culturally to slow down in the summer, to take things easy, and enjoy our rec-reational opportunities. The kids or grandkids are out of school, so maybe we sleep in some Sunday mornings, or take a vacation from church, when actually, the opposite is what we are called to do. It is a time for us to continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers! A time for us to persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever we fall into sin, re-pent and return to the Lord! It is a time to proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ, to seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself, and to strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being. May we at St. Luke’s be equal to this challenge! Have a wonderful and safe summer! George+

OUR APOLOGIES! Technical difficulties and lengthy online and phone sessions to repair your editor’s desktop publishing pro-gram caused the publication of the Godly Gazette to be unavoidably de-layed this month. DAUGHTERS OF THE KING The Daughters of the King will be meeting for dinner on Tuesday, June 6, at 6:00. All women are wel-come to join us for a supper and a time of prayer and fellowship. No need to bring anything but your-self! If you have questions you can call Maureen Menosky 386-776-1817 FREE CLINIC The next Clinic date will be on Wednesday, June 14th, 5:30—7:30pm. COFFEE HOURS The Coffee Hour following the 11am service has been a tradition at St. Luke’s for many years. It is a great way to get a chance to visit with each other and to meet and greet those visiting and potential members. The menu can be very simple such as coffee, lemonade, and cookies. It is not meant to be a meal or heavy finger foods, just a light treat. We hope you will think about hosting an upcoming Sun-day. You can call Ellen to sign up or check the bulletin board sched-ule in the Parish hall. MEN’S GROUP The Men’s Group will meet on Tuesday, June 27, 2017 at 6pm. Bring your meat for the grill.

SOCIAL MOVEMENT A fitness class for beginners and seniors is meeting on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10am-10:45am in the parish hall. Denise Watson is leading the class. You need to bring light hand held weights (1-3 pounds) and a water bottle. Call Denise for more info at 352-239-3772. BUSY HANDS Join us at our meeting on Saturday, June 6th from 9:30-11am. DEACON’S CORNER Things are popping at Fieles A Jesus! A large group of members from Fieles A Jesus just went to the ordination of a Deacon, who will become a Priest in 6 months. He is Juan Carlos and he is the seminarian who has been helping Mtr. Tulia at Fieles A Je-sus so she sponsored him for his ordination. Ordinations in Cuba are always a big deal since most priests there serve at least two congregations, and many serve 3 or 4. Actually there were 4 dea-cons ordained at this ordina-tion! Omani, Mtr. Tulia’s husband just inherited his grandmother’s house. It is a small house about 4 blocks from Fieles A Jesus. The roof is caved in, but he has started the renovation and half of the roof is up now. It would be wonderful if they could use that house as the rectory. They really need a little more privacy than they have now since the two girls are growing up. Susana is 13 and Sarah is 6. Mother Tulia says the people call the water at Fieles a Jesus “Blessed Water”. It is gaining the reputation for being the best water in Matanzas! They do need anoth-er UV light now, so next time we

go we will take a replacement. She sends her love and prayers for all of us at St. Luke’s. HELP WANTED Marilyn Jones, your Godly Gazette volunteer editor is seeking a back-up editor. Once or twice a year the Jones take an extended vacation for 3-6 weeks and assistance in producing the newsletter while she is away is needed. We have an im-mediate need for someone to take over the publishing of the Septem-ber newsletter. If you enjoy desktop publish-ing and don’t mind volunteering 1-3 days a month on an occasional basis, this might be a fun way to provide service to the church. Fa-miliarity with Microsoft Word and Publisher and some experience in Picasa or another photo editing software would be ideal. Marilyn will be happy to provide training as needed.

If you have any questions and/or are interested in becoming the As-sistant Editor, please call or text

Marilyn at 386-209-2636, or email her at mkjones321@gmail.com.

God loves each of us as if there were only one of us. --St. Augustine

Men love the truth when it bathes them in light: they hate it when it proves them wrong.

Love is not just tolerance. It's not just distant appreciation. It's a warm sense of, 'I am enjoying the fact that you are you.'

take Christ, because He Himself is the way.
