Once again, I can’t tell you how unhappy I am to have to announce that Lunch and Life is cancelled for Wednesday, January 11th, due to road conditions. The City of Richmond Schools announced that they will be closed and per our policy, we also will be closed.

Fingers crossed that Richmond City Schools will be open Thursday. If they are delayed, we ARE open, on time. I really do hope to see everyone at First Presbyterian – Julie

Shepherd’s Center Field Trip to VMFA

by Julie - Exec. Dir.December 14, 2016Leave a comment

This past fall, there was interest expressed in a field trip to The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) for a tour of the South Asian Art exhibit led by our own Dr. Shantaram Talegaonkar. Well, it’s a go!! The plan is that Dr. Talegaonkar will meet the group in the VMFA main lobby, near the gift shop on Tuesday, January 17 at 2:00 p.m. The tour will be approximately 2 hours.

Anyone who attended Dr. Talegaonkar’s lectures will find this especially interesting, although anyone wanting to know a little more about this culture would also benefit greatly.

Please email Paula at pgrimes@TSCOR.org or call the office at 355-7282 and tell us if you will be attending. It would be nice if you could let us know by Friday, January 13. Thank you.

There have been a few changes to the schedule on Mondays at St. Luke:

The Lunch Speaker on Monday, October 3, at 12:30 at St. Luke Lutheran, will be Dr. David Mark Cooper, author of Mapping Your Adventure: Discovering Integrity in a Life Review. Dr. Cooper is a respected therapist and educator, who lives in Richmond. He takes the place of Randy Fitzgerald, well-known columnist and humorist, who will be unable to speak because of illness. Dr. Cooper will bring copies of his book, should his listeners wish to purchase it at the end of his talk.

Ellis West will present The Constitution’s Ban on Religious Tests for Holding Public Office on October 17 and Andrew Crislip will conclude his presentation with The Lost Gospels II on October 24. Both are at 11:00 a.m.

Shantaram Talegaonkar will present Seven Delhis: The Evolution of a City Over One Thousand Years on October 24 and Barbara Goehle will present The Amazing Victoria Falls on November 7. Both are at 9:45.
