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.

St. Luke Garden

We could use a few folks to help check on the Garden plants just one day a week. We are all set on Wednesday and Sunday. The other days could use a pair of eyes (10 minute checks) to make sure things look “normal”. We will train you on “normal”.

-Ray Heller

Lifelong Learning News

Kids Corner is looking for volunteers to run a class or assist with set up and organizing. There is a sign up sheet outside the kitchen. You can sign up to help one time or a few! If you are interested please see Erica Sullivan or Mark Larson with any questions.

Crisis Meals

Please contact Pastor Heidi or Sue Anderson if you are in need of meal assistance during a difficult time.

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.
