Hastings Pride - June 14th

Festival 10am – 5pm

 

St. Luke’s will be sponsoring and participating the Hastings Pride Festival on June 14, 2025. This year, there is no parade, so we won’t be decorating a float, but we will have a booth down at the river during the festival.

 

We need volunteers to help set up, work the booth and help take it down. There are sign-up sheets in the gathering space. 

 

Also, if you would like to donate towards the event, please mark your donation with “Pride” and either put it in the offering or mail it into the office. 

 

ECW Garage Sale

THANK YOU!

 

Thank you to all the people who helped make our Garage Sale and Bake Sale a huge success. The ECW raised about $4000! It was a lot of hard work, and we appreciate all the donations, and all the time people devoted to this endeavor. 

 

And a special thank you to Julie Hicks and Marsha Keene for doing all the planning and organizing. With out you, none of this would have been possible.

 Outreach Brunch 

 

Thank you to everyone that attended and contributed to the Outreach Brunch last Sunday. We raised $406 that we will be sending to Episcopal Relief and Development for the LA Wildfires. 

 

 

Undie Sunday was a HUGE Success!

 

Thank you to everyone who donated! We managed to gather together

  • 49 pairs of socks
  • 95 underwear
  • 14 T-shirts
  • 9 hats
  • 4 mittens

We may be a small church, but we can make a huge impact! Family Service was very grateful to receive our donation

UTO (United Thank Offering) 

 

Thank you to everyone who donated to UTO. So far, we have raised $535 and will still accept donations through December 10th. 100% of all funds given to UTO are given as grants the following year to support innovative mission and ministry in the Episcopal Church. 

 

Hastings Pride Festival and Parade was a huge Success!

 

Thank you to all those who contributed to St. Luke's presence at the Hastings Pride on Saturday June 8th. We couldn't have made an impact without your help and dedication.

 

We made ourselves know at the parade with a huge and colorful float promoting "Love one another, No Exceptions!" At our booth at the river, we gave out free water and pride swag while talking about God's unconditional love and that St. Luke's is for inclusion of all people.  

 

Thank you to all of you who donated money to help fund this endeavor, and thank you to everyone who volunteered. It was definitely a team effort. 

 

A special Thanks to Katie Stokka and Scarlette Miller for organizing the event and making it happen.
