kids that need to be organized, and there will be one rehearsal. The
children will sing a Christmas carol during the service. Let Fr. Jeff or the
office know if you can help with this wonderful service.
ORDER OF ST. LUKE TO BEGIN NEW MEMBER INTRODUCTION:
Jesus commissioned all of us to “…preach the message the Kingdom of
heaven is near. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have
leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received. Freely give.” (Matt
10:7–8) If you are interested in making Jesus’ ministry of healing and
proclamation of the Kingdom a regular part of your vocation, we invite
you to learn more about St. Andrew’s Chapter of OSL. New studies will
begin in February. Please contact Jean Woods for more information
([email protected] or 901-755-8247).
EYC MISSION STATEMENT: Our goal as a youth group is to be an
all-inclusive community of young believers who set an example for other
Christians in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity (1 Tim 4:12).
