Prayer for ASP Participants
" O Lord, support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in your mercy, grant us a safe lodging and a holy rest and peace at the last. Amen."   BCP p. 833

Please join us in praying each evening for our ASP team on their service trip from Saturday, June 23 to  Sunday, July 1.

Creation Care Summer Church School
Children's programs (pre-K through 4th grade) are offered this summer from 9-9:30 am Sunday. Programs are funded by a Simple Acts Green Grant from the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. Meet in the Gordon/Horan rooms at the beginning of worship for bible study, discussion, and quiet activities. The focus is on caring for God's creation - water, soil, earth, and plants. We use the Abundant Life Garden curriculum from Episcopal Relief and Development as well as hands-on activities to explore energy use around St Luke's.Adult program leaders and assistants are needed. All materials are provided.Children join their families in church for communion. Please contact Rev Joyce to volunteer for 30 minutes for one week or more.
Rehoboth Outreach Project
The dates for the renovation are set for the weekend of August 10,11 & 12. If you are interested in participating and have not yet signed up, or have not been contacted, please call Christine Hudanich, 781-987-1620.
Growing with God

We invite you to share the abundance of your garden at St. Luke's Farm Stand on Sundays throughout the summer.

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.
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.

 

Summer Office Hours
Effective June 18th through August 17th, Martha's office hours will be Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday from 8 AM to 1 PM.
