Deck the Nave St. Luke’s needs your help after the 9:30 a.m. service on December 19! Many hands make light work. Immediately after worship, please stay and lend a hand as we decorate the nave for Christmas. Thank You for Sharing Your Christmas Share Your Christmas has had another successful year! Thanks to your kindness, St. Luke’s and LEAP Families and Maple Court Veterans will have a lot more smiles on their faces during this holiday season.

Announcements |
We Need a Home for Afghan refugees. As you may know, St. Luke’s, St. Titus, and St. Joseph’s are together sponsoring an Afghan refugee family. We need a two- or preferably 3-bedroom home or apartment to rent. We hope to stay in the range of $1500 per month and find a place that is close to public transportation. If you know of such a place or can recommend people who can help us, please call Bill Gutknecht. CONTACT UPDATES Up-to date contact information can be found online at ACS, or the ChurchLife App for your phone or tablet. Contact Kathy if you have any problems logging onto ACS. You can also ask Kathy to send you a paper directory if needed. |
