NEWS YOU CAN USE Find AND Give Hope
Today we conclude our “Find and Give Hope” stewardship series with a time for commitment at the end of worship. Hopefully over the last five weeks you were able to give prayerful consideration to how God is leading you to share your gifts through the work of St. Luke’s. By pledging your commitment to St. Luke’s this morning, you share in God’s work to help people find and give hope. As we have been encouraged to pray during the weeks of this series, let us continue to ask God, “What would honor you?”
