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

pj book 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.

First Presbyterian-New Door Policy

pj bookFor those attending the Open University at First Presbyterian on Thursdays, the church has adjusted the times when the entry doors will be locked.   They will be unlocked from 9:15-10:15 a.m. and from 1:15-1:45 p.m.  If you arrive outside of those times, all you need to do is ring the “Call Bell” to be buzzed into the building.  This has to do with their preschool and security.  Thank you for your understanding – Julie
