GO in service to others…

BACK TO SCHOOL: ALL IN! In a season when many churches have had to pull back – St. Luke’s is going ALL IN. Back to School Extravaganza is changing but still responding to God’s call in powerful ways. We’ve partnered with Washington Township schools and are raising $60,000 to provide school supplies not for 1,000 students but for 4,000 students registered for free or reduced lunch in the district. So go ALL IN with us this year by donating financially, adopting a classroom with your small group to support students all year or signing up to pack school supplies on July 27, 28 or 29. Please email outreach@ stlukesumc.com if interested. Together, let’s not make this the year COVID-19 disrupted school but the year that St. Luke’s went ALL IN. BECOMING AN ANTI-RACIST ONE DAY AT A TIME Transform yourself and the world by taking an anti-racist step every day. Find very doable steps, some take as little as 5 minutes, on the St. Luke’s Facebook page and the St. Luke’s website under Luke’s Online/Adult Discipleship/Becoming an Anti Racist Resources.

FAMILY FUN NIGHTS | Fridays through August • 5PM Deliver a Chef Joseph-prepared hot meal and family activity to foodinsecure neighbors in Washington Township. Provide an opportunity for family togetherness, hope and the love of Jesus to our neighbors.

Join our delivery fleet on our Luke’s Online website page.
