A CALL FOR MEMBERS OF THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE: Christian education is the foundation of adult and children’s faith. During trying times this past year, we in the St. Luke congregation and Upper Susquehanna Synod emphasized parishioner safety, but planning for next autumn’s Sunday School, first by way of Zoom meetings, would seem prudent at this time. If you are interested in guiding our church’s christian education path or have suggestions, please contact John Kelsey, Church Council liaison for Education at 570-323-0580 or at jwkelsey@comcast.net
