6/20 Celebrating 40 Years of Ministry It has been nearly 40 years since our pastor, Gordon T. Reinertsen was ordained at Trinity Lutheran Church in Brooklyn, NY on June 28, 1970. Ironically, June 28 is also the wedding anniversary of his parents, Thomas & Dorothy Reinertsen in the same chuch, but in 1941. Most of that time has been with us here at St Luke, having joined us on 12/24/1972. We celebrated after the worship service on Sunday June 20 with a reception complete with a red cake with his photo and lots of other memorabelia. St Luke has really been blessed to have Pastor Reinertsen as our spiritual leader for all these years. See the photos!

6/13 Art Car Day at the High Museum Steve Johnson, who died in December, son of Delores and Ted, will be honored at the High Museum with an Art Car on Sunday, June 13. The event will be held in conjunction with “The Allure of the Automobile” exhibition currently on display at The High. Steve’s 1996 black Toyota Corolla, much the worse for wear, will be on the entrance plaza that day to be decorated by Museum visitors. Friends and many coffee houses in Atlanta and the Aquarium Catering Service are saving variously colored plastic bottle tops, which will be available for gluing on the car in random patterns that afternoon. Steve is a former member of The High and loved the arts. All are invited to attend and contribute to the design. Steve’s artist friend, Grant Henry, aka Sister Louisa, who is coordinating the event, now owns the car and will have it for display following the special day. More info on The High's website . |

For many years St. Luke has given a "New Baby Basket" to members who are celebrating the birth of their first child. The baskets are filled with new items donated by members of the congregation. With the birth of two new babies recently, we are in need of items such as baby clothing, toys, baby shampoo, washcloths, pacifiers, spoons, etc. Please place donations in the baskets in the Fellowship Hall. All donations are greatly appreciated! Please see Kim Schaeffer if you have any questions.
