Did You Know That:   

During the last two weeks St. Luke's has been awarded two grants, both related to Creation Care.

 

One is for $1,000, and is for an summer education offering for children about caring for the creation.  

 

The second is for $10,000 and can go to any facility/building use changes which will lead to energy savings.

 

Both come from the Diocese, where creation care has been taking on a greater role in priorities. We have Rev. Joyce to thank for identifying the grants and applying.  

 

Jr. Warden Bill Lincoln will be one of several lay leaders heading up the efforts to define priorities and possibe uses for the second grant.If you have a passion for these matters and would like to be part of the conversation, let Bill, Joyce, or Grant know. We hope that the work of the parish focused on creation care will continue well into the future and past the use of these particular grants.

To reflect more accurately the position and work of the Rev. Joyce Scheyer, her job title will be Assistant Priest for Youth and Family Ministries.

With the mild winter, this has been a fantastic spring for gardens. We invite you to share that abundance at tf St. Luke's Farm Stand this Sunday.

Please bring in your potted plants, flowers and herbs for transplanting, any early crops for sharing.  All of the items are free for swapping or sharing, but if you want to make a small donation all proceeds will benefit the local food pantries.  Please label all pots.

St. Luke's Farm Stand is Back!

Last call ! Our 50th Anniversary Time Capsule will be hidden on June 3rd. Please bring a small item that reflects life in 2012 to the church office before then.

Starting June 10, our second service  

will change from 10 a.m. to 9 a.m. 

 

We will also offer a half-hour of activities during the first part of the service for any children who are there in Dutton Hall. It will not be broken into grades, but will be a larger group activity. To that end we need adults interested in helping out...it will be 11 Sundays, so if we get several volunteers we will not overstretch folks. Let the Revs. Joyce Scheyer or Grant Barber know if you are interested. See you this summer in church!  

We are in need of two items. If any parishioners would like to donate said item or make a contribution toward the purchase of same, the church would be extremely grateful.

• 2 Baby Swings for the Nursery
• A tent with side flaps (10' x 20' or larger)

The tent is much needed for future fundraisers and will help to generate revenue and finally the swings would alleviate a growing need in the Nursery.

 

Thanks to the generous donations of several St. Luke's parishioners, we were able to purchase a new coffee machine which should arrive soon.

 

Sensory-friendly worship the first Sunday of every month at 2 PM.
