Ash Wednesday Services 3/5

Ash Wednesday Services will be at 12:00 pm and 7:00 pm on March 5th.

Community Garden

In March, we will begin working in the Community Garden on Wednesday mornings (9:30AM) and if we have enough interest, we will do Saturdays as well, until we are all “set up”. All is only when weather is permitting. Hopefully we will be done with setup  by April. We usually plant near Memorial Day after the “last” frost.

Please let Penny or Ray Heller know your interest especially in working Saturday mornings. We can teach you all about Regenerative Gardening and NO TILL practices. Just don’t get us started talking because. We may not stop.

St. Luke Meal Ministry

Food can be made out of love for our families, as an act of service and worship. When it is done with this mindset, it will uplift your spirit, too!

Did you know St. Luke has many amazing cooks who love to cook for others in need of a meal due to surgery, illness, injury, bereavement, or a new baby? If you, or someone you know of at St. Luke could use some support in the form of a meal, please reach out to Sue Anderson (suea626@yahoo.com) or through the Outreach Team (outreach@stlukegf.org) Please do not hesitate to ask on behalf of yourself or a family in need.
