Courage Sermon

St. Luke’s / Prescott

The Rev. Mark Moline

Sunday May 30^th, 2010 / Memorial Day – Trinity Sunday

Title:  “Courage!”

This year, Trinity Sunday falls within Memorial Day week-end.  And at first glimpse we seem to have a sort of competition here between this sacred church holy day – Trinity Sunday – and this proud national holiday – Memorial Day.  We seem to have a struggle for the focus of our time and attention between faith and patriotism.  We don’t want either to be overwhelmed by the other.  We don’t want to turn Jesus into a good American, small “d” democrat capitalist because that’s not who he is or has ever been.  He is not an American patriotic figure; but then neither do we want to separate our love for our blessed country from our love for God.

St. Luke’s School open enrollment for 2010 – 2011 begins…

St. Luke’s School is now accepting registrations for the 2010 – 2011 school year.  Students must be 3 years old and potty trained prior to starting.  Limited openings also remain for this school year for children who are already 3 who would like to get acclimated to the school setting prior to next school year.

St. Luke’s School follows the Prescott Unified School District Calendar and will begin school this coming school year on August 9^th.  Parents are invited to come to the school for a tour anytime during school hours (8:30 – 2:30 M – F) or schedule a special appointment outside these times if needed (please call the school at 928-442-1315 to arrange).  Parents are especially encouraged to come and observe the school during morning work time between 8:30 and 10:00 am Monday – Thursday.
