Blessing of the Animals 

 

We had such a good time on Sunday, October 5th  with the blessing of the animals. Thank you to everyone who brought in a pet to be blessed. There are some pictures posted on the Parish Life tab/page. 

ECW Pie Sale Results

 

On Sunday August 10th, the ECW held their Pie Sale at the LeDuc. It was really HOT, but they still had a pretty good turnout. 

 

We sold over 90 slices of pie and went through almost 2 gallons of ice cream! We raised $526 for the ECW!

 

Thank you to everyone who donated pies and supplies, money and time. We couldn’t have done it without you all!

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!

Pride 2025

 

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.

Weaving a

Community of Hope

 

Our Lenten weaving project has come to a close. The Tapestry was blessed at our Easter service and hung in the church, on display to honor all of the hopes, fears, dreams, and joys it represents. It is an outward and visible sign of our humanity and hope through the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. 

 

It will be displayed in the church through the Easter season. 

 

Thank you to everyone who participated.

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.
