The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry: How to Stay Emotionally Healthy and Spiritually Alive in the Chaos of the Modern World by John Mark Comer

The Study for Women | Led by Katie Brown and Suzi Pitts

April 29 – June 3 | Tuesdays | 12–1 p.m.

“Who am I becoming?” That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words:“Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.” It wasn’t the response he expected, but it was— and continues to be—the answer we need.

If you enjoy organizing or have a passion for helping others, would you consider volunteering at our Mercy Closet? There are opportunities to engage with the Gethsemane community or stay behind the scenes.

Find more details and sign-up: StLukesMethodist.org/mercy

The closet is currently in need of gently used men’s and boys’ clothing/shoes (spring or summer). We ask that all other items be donated directly to CCSC or held until such time as we have room and a need to receive them. Email akelley@stlukesmethodist.org to coordinate donation drop-off.

VBS Volunteers | June 9-13

Many age groups are currently on a waitlist so to accommodate our campers, we need more classroom teachers for our preschool through fifth-grade campers! Teachers share a daily Bible story, facilitate games and crafts, and escort children to other activities like Worship, Playground/Gym, and Science. Lesson plans and classroom materials are provided for all teachers. Every teacher has an adult partner, as well as 2-3 Teen Helpers. We offer "Mini VBS" childcare for our volunteers' infants through PreK children.
