St. Luke’s United Methodist Church - Memphis, TN - News

By the time you read this, we will be just about
finished with another session (the 169th in history) of
the Memphis Annual Conference. We should be thankful
for our St. Luke’s delegates / alternates this year,
Bob & Janie Hendrix, David Smith and Evelyn
Brady. We are hopeful that new directions in
conference ministry coordination and realistic
budgeting will be among the marks of accomplishment
in 2008.

Meanwhile, let’s all realize that, at root, the
solution to our problems is spiritual, not political. The
deepening of prayer disciplines and intentional growth
we have seen at St. Luke’s surely must be on the right
track. May this good news spread!

Here is one special cause I want to lift up: in
memory of the late Mickey Carpenter, victim of a tragic
fishing accident in April, donations are being raised for
the Dream Farm project in Africa that was visited personally
by Mickey and his wife (now widow) Marcia. This
work addressing hunger and self-sufficiency is a great
beacon of hope. We will let you know more details soon.
Let’s enter the new United Methodist year in
tune with our global theme, “A Future with Hope”…
