Our presence is felt within our community and beyond.

Eucharistic Visitors: Trained and licensed members bring Holy Communion to those who are unable to attend church.  

Food Shelf: Donations are brought to the altar each week by the children in the parish and then taken to the local food shelf.  Our help to feed the hungry allows us to live our faith and teaches our children an important lesson.

Outreach ministry: We raise funds to meet specific needs within our community as well as for disaster relief in specific areas throughout the globe.  

Pastoral Care Visitors: Volunteers visit friends who are ill or unable to attend church.

Prayers: On Wednesdays at 10:30 am, we meet to pray for those on our prayer list and for specific needs.

Prayer Shawl ministry: The Episcopal Church Women make prayer shawls for parishioners and friends as a reminder that they are surrounded by our love and prayers. Patterns are available for either crocheted or fleece shawls.

Seasonal Workers ministry: One Sunday in August, we prepare and take a meal to the seasonal workers in Montgomery Minnesota and help with two worship services there.  Speaking Spanish is helpful but not necessary.

Worship Services at Augustana and Regina:  St. Luke's Shared Ministry Team participates with other churches in Hastings to provide worship services at Augustana and Regina homes.  The worship team is joined by volunteer musicians and readers.

We also meet for social and outreaching opportunities.

Annual Garage Sale: We work together to make our annual spring sale a success.

Episcopal Church Women: Offers both social and outreaching opportunities for the women of St. Luke’s.  We make TV and comfort quilts for the children who come to our local women’s shelter as well as Prayer Shawls.

Quilters: Meet monthly to work on a quilt to show and sell. 

Readers Group: Meets 6 times each year to discuss a book (selected in turns, by the readers). Watch our News page for the current book and meeting date.
