sunday school Vicar DeAnn is currently leading a series of classes during the Sunday School hour to examine and discuss several social statements adopted at the ELCA churchwide gathering. The first is “A Declaration of Interreligious Commitment” and looks at how we relate to and work with other faiths. It will give us a chance to talk about what we understand about other faiths or ask questions we always wondered.
LUNCH AND A MOVIE The next lunch and/or movie day will be Thursday, January 30th. We will meet at Panera Bread on Eisenhower Drive at 11:25 pm. The movie, “Just Mercy” (PG-13) starts at 12:50 pm. Movie lasts 2 hours 17 minutes and it shares the true story of Harvard grad attorney, Bryan Stevenson, who chose to defend wrongly accused men of color in the south, 30+ years ago. Main premise: we all need grace and mercy. Actors include Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx. Let Sue K. know if you plan to attend, so we can try and sit together. Her phone number is (717) 637-3549 or text (717) 476-7542. The next lunch and a movie will be on Tuesday, February 4th, “Doolittle”. Suggestions for movie and dining selection are welcomed!
WeLCA (Women of the Evangelical Church of America) Our local organization will meet at Homewood on Tuesday, January 28th at 1:00 pm.

NEW ADMISSION PROCEDURES AT HOMEWOOD Volunteers, Women of the Church and visitors to Homewood will have to “buzz in” and “sign in” to gain entrance at Homewood. These are new safety procedures to keep residents safe. Keep this in mind when you plan to visit there.

FILL YOUR CUP WOMEN’S RETREAT will begin with fellowship and laughter on the evening of Friday, February 28th at 6:30pm at the Church of Satire Comedy Club, followed on Saturday, February 29th (9-3pm at St Bartholomew’s) with a day of sessions that will focus on how God’s word relates to modern women’s topics, interspersed with sessions centering on expression through meditation/gentle movement and artistic handiwork. Since this retreat is intended to fill our cups so that we may pour out unto others, we are asking that attendees bring a women’s personal care item for donation to local women in need. Cost for the retreat is $20 prior to January 31st, and $25 thereafter until the registration deadline of Friday, February 14th. Informational flyers with registration forms are located in the church hallway. Please contact Lindsey Meyer with any questions.
