Text: "Dear ECW and DOK ladies, Thank you for the scholarships to Camp Mitchell. It was fun! I made lots of friends and had a great learning experience. I loved the swimming pool, the water slide and the chickens. I appreciate all your efforts to send kids like me to camp. Sincerely, Claire."
 
BibleStudy2Summer Bible study of women of the Bible 
 
  Spend the summer with us studying what women first said in the Bible, their historical background, and the significance of their words starting with the Genesis stories. You will be surprised who speaks the most. We are using the book, Bible Women, written by an Episcopal priest, Lindsay Freeman. Step into God's sacred circle of grandmothers, warriors, and prophets, and you will not come out the same. For questions email Chris Schaefer glschaefer@sbcglobal.net  or Joanna Seibert joannaseibert@me.com. Men as well as women of the church are welcome. Note meeting place change to Parish Hall.

St. Luke's Summer Monster Food Drive and Can Sculpture Contest

CANNED FOOD CONTEST

 

This summer in May and June bring cans and boxes of food for Food Pantries in North Little Rock and St. Francis House and put in the blue barrel in the narthex. During the first three weeks in July there will be a can sculpture contest for our youth making sculptures from the can and box goods. Bring food every week and sign up with Joanna joannaseibert@me.com to be a participant or judge in the can sculpture contest that will be held during VBS on Friday, July 17th. Again, contact Joanna if you can help with this fun summer project. Food Trucks will be at St. Luke's for lunch at VBS closing on Friday July 17th. Support this new ministry by joining us for lunch starting at 10:30.

 

VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED to help box up the food for the area food pantries which has been gathered from the MONSTER FOOD DRIVE.  We need help on Friday afternoon, July 17th, taking down the canned food sculptures and putting the food into boxes for the area food pantries to pick up from St. Luke's.  If you can help with this, please contact Jeannie Fry at 501 941 0430 or by email at fryesque@centurytel.net .
