Update 11/1/10: The meetings will be in the *meeting room* not the choir room, starting tomorrow, 11/2.

ARISE is a parish-wide project in which parishioners meet in small groups to pray, read scripture, faith share and talk about how we can live out our faith in everyday life. These groups meet once-a-week for six weeks in the Fall and Spring. Our young adult ministry will be participating by having our very own ARISE program at our regular Tuesday night meetings, starting tomorrow, October 12.

As usual, all young adults are invited; same time and same place (8pm-9:30pm at St. Luke’s choir room meeting room after Adoration in the church). Come and join us explore the richness of our faith through the ARISE process!

Help make sure mothers with unexpected pregnancies get what they need!

St Luke’s YAM will be helping at the Lodi PRC office this Saturday 10am to 12 pm. It is located on 942 E Pine Street (east of 99). Those coming from Stockton who want to carpool: meet at St Luke’s at 9:30 am.

Hope to see you there!
