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.
