GO in service to others…

P.E.W. MINISTRY We sit in a pew on Sundays, and you may be missing that connection, perhaps feeling anxious and lonely. Our new P.E.W. (Promoting Emotional Wellness) Ministry recognizes the central role the church plays in our lives and creates a virtual place of connection to “promote emotional wellness” online. Facilitated by mental health professionals, these online gatherings help us connect, share and be cared for in a virtual pew. To learn more, email outreach@stlukesumc.com, put “PEW Ministry” in the subject line and ask to be contacted.

VIRTUAL TUTORING All Indiana K-5 schools have moved to E-learning for this school year. Families are struggling to keep up with their work and new homeschool responsibilities. If you are passionate about education, join us to assist students with e-learning via Zoom meetings. To learn more, send an email to Outreach@ stlukesumc.com with “P.E.W. Ministry”/”Tutoring” in the subject line and ask to be contacted.
