APRIL 19 | FOLLOWING

EACH SERVICE

Join us at Starting Point to learn more about St. Luke’s and how we live out our mission of finding and giving hope. You’ll meet others who are new and leave with the right next step for you as you get connected at St. Luke’s.

I LOVE MY CITY

APRIL 24 & 25

Join us for our annual Day of Service, where we spread out all over the city to serve our neighbors. When we open our hearts and our hands to meet the needs of our city, we are living the Gospel. In this way, serving is not separate from our worship, it is an expression of it. From bundling diapers to deep cleaning at the food pantry, from giving blood to digging in the dirt, from writing encouraging notes to packing snack bags, there is an opportunity for every age, ability, and interest. Sign up to serve at the link below!

STREETS TO HOME MOVE-IN KITS

Streets to Home is a collaborative, city-wide initiative that works through partnerships in housing and supportive services to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring. Our church-wide focus on serving during the Lent season was providing Move-In Kits for neighbors moving off the streets and into homes. Today we are celebrating that we received items and money to donate 100 move-in kits! Thank you St. Luke’s for this outpouring of generosity for our community! To learn more about Streets to Home, visit our resource page below.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZING 101

WEDNESDAYS STARTING APRIL 15 • 6 PM

Uncertain times can lead us to feeling overwhelmed and powerless to make change. Perhaps Community Organizing is just the antidote you’re looking for! Following the successful Indy Action Coalition public action last month, we are offering a 5-week class where you will learn the philosophy and methodology behind grass-roots organizing. In Community Organizing 101, you will meet like-minded people, find your voice, and reclaim the collective power that is the cornerstone of our democracy. Visit the link below to learn more and sign up for this important and timely class.
