Outreach & ECW

Annual Pie Sales at the LeDuc

Sunday, August 10th

 

We need volunteers and pies for the pie sale. The sign-up sheets are in the gathering space. All pies need to be brought to the church by August 10th as we will be cutting and packaging them after service. 

 

Note: St. Luke’s is also the rain venue for all the LeDuc Concerts. On any rainy Sunday in August, come to the church for free live music! The concerts start at 6:30PM.

 

Coffee & Conversation 

**On Hiatus Until Fall**

 

We will NOT have ECW Coffee & Conversation during the months of July and August, but will continue them in the fall. The NEXT Coffe& Conversation will be Thursday, September 4th at 10 am.  

 

Have a fantastic summer and we'll see you in the fall! 

Cereal Success!

 

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Cereal Sundays drive to get cereal boxes for Hastings Family Services. We gathered 33 boxes of cereal and a few other items and donated them to HFS! That’s pretty great for our small but mighty church!

Hastings Pride - Huge Success!

 

St. Luke's was one of 3 churches that participated at the Hastings Pride Festival - but the only church from Hastings! We had a booth with free water and pride swag, temporary tatoos, and weaving. 

 

We added on to the tapistry that we made over lent with what was on the hearts and minds of the community at Pride. Bronwyn and Mary did a wonderful job of assisting in the weaving and the final product is hanging in the church.

 

Thank you to all those who donated time, energy and finances to support our LBGTQ community members and show them that God loves them!

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.
