Sunday, November 22, 1:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Featuring products from the LWR Handcraft,

Coffee and Chocolate Projects.

Do some socially conscious holiday shopping this season right here at St. Luke's.

Choose from beautiful handcrafts made by artisans from around the world,
including housewares, home accessories, jewelry, toys, baskets, handbags,
holiday decor & ornaments, nativities and more,
as well as delicious fair trade coffees, teas and chocolates.
Prices begin at less than $5.00, so there will be something for everyone on your gift list.

The practice of Fair Trade improves the lives of farmers, artisans, producers
and their families & communities by increasing incomes to a fair wage,
improving working conditions, promoting democratic principles in the workplace,
contributing to community development, health, education,
and environmental stewardship.
Fair Trade consumers benefit from receiving high quality, unique goods and the
knowledge that their responsible purchase has made a positive impact on our world.
More information is available in the narthex.

All proceeds will go to Lutheran World Relief & SERRV (one of the first alternative
trade organizations in the world, working for 60 years on behalf of the world’s artisans
and farmers, a founding member of the World Fair Trade Organization and
the Fair Trade Federation).

You can also see the full line of products and shop directly from the
Lutheran World Relief website (www.lwr.org - click on Fair Trade),
or from catalogs in the narthex.
An order will be placed after the fair and will be received in time for Christmas -
or you may order on your own. Please feel free to pass along a catalog
to your friends & coworkers and invite them to the FAIR TRADE Fair!

(Be sure to also begin looking for the "Fair Trade Certified" logo
on products in supermarkets, restaurants, etc.)

Each Sunday we gather around God's word and sacrament (all baptized
Christians who believe that the Lord is present in the sacrament are welcome
to come to the table) to hear about his creative and redeeming love for us.

Children are welcome and encouraged to attend worship. Coloring pages
are available for use during the service. They are invited to come forward for
a Youth Conversation. If you need to take your child out for any reason, you can
hear the service in the narthex through a speaker. A nursery is also available.

Taizé Prayer Services
Are you tired of running from place to place and activity to activity?
Are you sick of all the noise that pollutes the air? Do you need some quiet time for reflection? Would you like to spend some quiet time with God? If so, please join us.
3rd Sunday of each month at 2:00pm
(next service May 16)

About Taizé (pronounced ta-ZAY)
The Taizé Prayer Service, named after the village in France where it originated,
is a group method of Christian Prayer that combines Bible readings
with meditative silences and repetitive singing /chanting.
Songs are often 1 or 2 lines long and are repeated over and over.
This service is loose in structure.
Icons, candles or other objects will be used to help focus our prayers.
It is our most sincere hope that, for this brief time, you can be still
and be at peace in the presence of God.
