Reflecting on Stewardship

Each year, as Saint Luke's approaches Stewardship Month, we take time to reflect and pray over our gifts to Saint Luke's. This week, we invite you to hear from our Treasurer, William Nicrosi.

You may pledge online at any time. Our finance office is always available and willing to answer any questions or provide help in making your pledge online or in person. 
 
We know God is faithful, and we thank you for walking alongside us this stewardship season.

Meet up at the Birmingham Legion Soccer Game!

Hey Saint Luke’s family!

I’d like to invite everyone to join my family and me for the Birmingham Legion soccer game on Sunday, October 10th. The Legion will take on the Indy Eleven at 4:00pm at the BBVA Field (the field near UAB). It should be a beautiful day and a fun way for us to get together. Plus, the Legion is currently in second place in the USL Championship Easter Conference Central!

When you purchase your tickets, try for sections 107 and 108 so that we can all be near each other. Please let me know if you are coming so that I can help gather us together on game day!
