GO in service to others…

SEW IN LOVE With a critical shortage for healthcare workers, use your gift of sewing to construct surgical masks. Our Caring Cars Ministry will pick them up and deliver to hospitals and nursing homes in the Indianapolis area. Email caringcars@stlukesumc.com for pick up. To watch a video of how to make masks, visit our Luke’s Online website page.

P.E.W. MINISTRY We typically gather in pews and you may be missing that connection, feeling anxious and lonely. This new ministry recognizes the central role the church plays in our lives and creates a virtual place of connection to “promote emotional wellness.” Offered in groups on Zoom or individually, these online gatherings help us connect, share and be cared for in a virtual pew. To learn more, email outreach@stukesumc.com.

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. Contact outreach@stlukesumc.com for more information.
