What's Happening...

Come Hungry to Church!
Summer Breakfasts are back!
We aren't under the arches for worship this summer, but come along for breakfast in the parish hall at 9 am each Sunday through July and August, hosted by your Vestry Members and Ministry Council Shepherds. It is a great time to catch up with church friends and make some new ones. Donations gladly received, but not expected.
New - Urgent Plea for St Luke's Shower And Breakfast Program For The Homeless
Urgent need - The program is in desperate need of volunteer help on all Saturdays, except the 1st of the month. No need to pre-arrange - just go along any time between 8 and 10:30am. More details here...

Right now the program also needs-MENS' socks, underwear, pants (casual only) and shorts, t-shirts, sweatshirts and light jackets. Please think of St. Luke's as you clean out your closets or buy socks and underwear for your own family.

Next regular date - Saturday, July 19, 7:00am - 10:30am, or any part of that time. Thank you!
A Creampuff for the Cookies!
Thanks to the amazing Priscilla Logan for the incredibly generous donation of her 2000 Toyota Camry to one of Mama Hill's Help volunteers, Paulette Goff, a social worker in training. Priscilla's Camry had only 40,000 miles on it and was dubbed "a creampuff" by its mechanic!

Mo. Sarah Avon Walk for Breast Cancer -
Thank You to All!
Your generosity means I have met my fundraising goal for participating in the 39.3 mile Avon walk on Sep. 6 & 7. There's still time to donate right up until I do the walk, and all donations are welcome because the money raised all goes for breast cancer research and services

It's fast and easy to make a tax-deductible donation.  

Simply CLICK HERE to access my fundraising page, then click "Donate Now."

Thank you, Mo. Sarah+
