Service Time Change For The Summer

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!  


Time Capsule
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.
Growing with God

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!
Wish List

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.
