It's Here: St Luke's Purified Water (Almost Holy)!

Our personalized 16 ounce Purified Water bottles have arrived. As you can see above, the label shows not only the Church, but touts "Purified Water (Almost Holy)" in magnificent "Old English" print! Ooo La La, eh?

The water is available for purchase, and is a wonderful keepsake for folk who visit our church, to be sure. It is also a very neat gift to give your friends when they come visit on holiday!

So, pick up your bottle(s) - or a whole case of 24! - on any Sunday, or at our other parish gatherings and concerts.

Cost: $2 per bottle or $48 per case. Proceeds are designated to further the outreach ministry of our parish. And remember: when you purchase this, you'll both quench your thirst AND help draw other folk to our lovely, grace-filled parish church - Saint Luke's Church, Sedona AZ.

And besides all that, it's such good tasting water! Move over, Evian and Aquafina - a new purified water is in town!!

Can't you almost hear the Sons of the Pioneers singing "Cool, Clear [almost holy!] Water?"

Today's Saint (June 5): Boniface, Bishop & Martyr (680-754)

Boniface was born in Crediton, in Devon, at the end of the seventh Century. He became a Benedictine monk and was later sent by Pope Gregory II to Bavaria and Hesse in Germany.

Often called the Apostle of Germany, he was instrumental in converting many through his preaching and devout life. Around 747 became Archbishop of Mainz, but left that position to return to care for the Church of Utrecht in Frisia, his old mission.

He was martyred, along with thirty of his monks, at the hands of the Frisians in 754.

"Rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings, that, when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy." (The day's gradual, page E65, People's Anglican Missal)
