YOU BELONG: TO IMPACT
BACK TO SCHOOL EXTRAVAGANZA Each year we partner with Washington Township schools as they kick off a new academic year. We work closely with their teachers and administrators to find the BEST way we can support the school district, while at the same time upholding our shared commitment to justice, anti-racism, and inclusivity. This year, we have a goal to raise $50,000 to cover the cost of school supplies for 4,200 students for the entire academic year, adopt classrooms in Washington Township, and adopt a school in Kenya. To learn more and give, visit stlukesumc.com/backtoschool. ENDING GUN VIOLENCE MEETING WEDNESDAY, JULY 27 AT 7PM | COMMUNITY ROOM Ending Gun Violence Committee is forming to offer programming and events at both St. Luke’s campuses in the fall/winter of 2022 and 2023. Sign up at stlukesumc.com/ events. SERVE WITH KIDS & STUDENTS Every week, an average of 250 kids engage in Kids and Student Ministries! The aim is for kids to grow to love God, love others, and love themselves. But we can’t do this without your help. We still need 100 more volunteers to serve as greeters, small group leaders, and more. If you’re interested in serving, visit stlukesumc.com/serve. Have questions? Contact amy.boles@stlukesumc.com about Kids Ministry and heather. kenison@stlukesumc.com about Youth Ministry. SPECIAL NEEDS BUDDIES NEEDED A special needs buddy partners with a child or youth with special needs to help them fully participate in their Sunday School or Youth Group activities alongside their peers. This could include providing physical assistance, behavioral supports, energy breaks, medical monitoring, or helping make small adjustments to activities to help individuals participate. The most important part of the role is to form a relationship with an individual to help make church more meaningful and accessible! NEW SONG AUDITIONS NOW - AUGUST New Song is welcoming new members!
