LUNCH WITH PASTOR & BREAKFAST AND BIBLE will recess during July and August. We will resume in September. Look for September’s re-start in the newsletter and bulletins.
SERVICE OPPORTUNITY On Saturday, August 24, St. Luke Church will demonstrate the love of Christ at Sojourner Truth Ministries as part of their “Dinner Church”, a mid-day worship service and meal. Named after the famed abolitionist, Sojourner Truth Ministries serves the “troubled, anxious, alienated, and disenfranchised.” members of our community. Volunteers will be needed to cook and serve the meal, as well as to simply come and learn more about the ministry and to get to know some of those who are served. More details will be shared in the coming weeks, but a sign up for food donations is already available in the vestibule.
CALL COMMITTEE It will soon be time to form the Call Committee, which is the committee that screens, interviews, and recommends candidates to the Congregation Council. If you would like to be considered for the Call Committee, please submit a written request for consideration to Sarah Young, Office Manager.
VBS ANNOUNCEMENT Due to a number of factors, the decision has been made for St. Luke NOT to host a VBS this summer. A fuller explanation of this decision (which was made collaboratively between Pastor Jeff and some of those who had volunteered to help) will be in the upcoming newsletter. Those wishing to either participate in or volunteer for a VBS this summer are encouraged to do so with New Covenant United Church of Christ, whose insert can be found at the back of the Nave, or at the church office.
