Mark your calendars for a new, exciting, and fun event for the entire family at St. Luke's on November 1!
 
This celebration is taking the place of our annual Hootenanny, with a focus on community and creating financial support for our church.  The lunch and activities after the 10:30 service will include decorating altars for the Day of the Dead, celebrating All Saints Day, and feasting on a Baked Potato Bar with all the fixings.
 
The Episcopal Church observes All Saints' Day this year on November 1st.  It celebrates God’s holy people—both famous historical saints and everyday ordinary believers.  Many congregations (including ours) read aloud the names of members who have died in the past year. It is also the three-year anniversary of Reverend Ashley's ordination to the priesthood!
 
The Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos, is also celebrated on November 1st and is a Mexican holiday that honors and remembers deceased loved ones.  Often, people build and decorate altars with photos, candles, and flowers to welcome returning souls on this special Day.
 
Our party on Sunday, November 1st will combine these two beloved traditions, with great food, the painting of murals, and the creation of our altars.  More about this special lunch to come soon.
