Coming Soon: God’s Work, Our Hands

Sunday, September 13, 2026

Welcome home! What sweet words to hear!

For our 2026 GWOH Sunday, we will be assembling “welcome home” kits for the New London Homeless Hospital Center (NLHHC). These baskets will be for clients who are transitioning from unhoused to housed, providing supplies for their new residences and helping to set them up for success. A sign-up sheet will be posted and we will begin collecting items in July. Questions or concerns?

Please see Leigh Sammons.

Tag Sale June 5th-6th

We love tag sales, and we hope you do too! So please bring us stuff to sell, come help us organize it, then come to the tag sale on June 5 (6 to 8 pm) and 6 (8 am to 2 pm) to buy stuff to fill up the space you gained by getting rid of stuff. Please start cleaning out your basements and garages and attics, and save the good stuff for the sale. You’ll get rid of stuff you don’t need, somebody else will love it, and the money we earn selling it will provide beds and cribs for people who otherwise could not afford them.

Volunteers are welcome to help set up the sale on May 31st right after church.

June Scroll Deadline 5/18

The June Scroll deadline is Monday, May 18th. Please have all articles to Katie at Communications@stlukegf.org.

RaiseRight Gift Cards

How it works... merchants give St. Luke a small percent of each card you purchase. For example, you purchase a $100 Stop & Shop gift card, then St. Luke gets $4 you get $100 in groceries. Do this 4 weeks a month and you give St. Luke $16 at no cost to you!These dollars support the church's good samaritan funds which Pastor Heidi can use to support anyone during tight times. It's convenient for you and supports our outreach ministries! It’s a win-win! There are 100's of participating merchants like ShopRite, Dunkin Donuts, Home Depot, Walmart, TJMaxx, Amazon, and Subway just to name a few. To get cards deliverd to St. Luke Order on line at:

 https://www.raiseright.com 

OR  Raise Right cards are available for purchase by check on the First and Third Sundays each month after Worship.
