Serving our Community at

Copley Heritage Days - August 4th and 5th

Heritage Days are a time Copley comes together as a community.  The event includes music, food, art, games, and play areas.

St. Luke's will be volunteering to help wherever we're needed this year, and there are a variety of areas where we can give a helping hand. 

This Sunday, we will have a sign-up sheet with times and tasks from the event organizers.  St. Luke's also plans to have a Prayer Tent at the event.

If you have any questions or would like to sign up, contact Jim Fulton in the church office.

St. Luke's Summer Gatherings

On Friday, July 28th, St. Luke's will host the fourth of our six Summer Gatherings here at the church to spend time with each other as a body. 

At each gathering, we will meet under the tent for food, games, special children’s activities, and just spending time together as friends and family. 

Bring a covered dish or favorite side to share with everyone. We will provide the burgers, hot dogs, and beverages.

Along with a great meal, the Uhlenbrocks will have special VBS activities for the children. If your child would like to participate CLICK HERE to register. (Registration is not required, but it helps us determine how many will be participating.) 

If you can help with setup or clean up, we are still looking for a few volunteers. Please contact Fr. Andrew.

Plan on joining us on the 28th at 6:00 PM as we share life (and food) with one another.

Life Groups Resume in September

Life Groups at St Luke's are a place to grow as disciples of Christ in the context of relationships. It is in those relationships where we can be genuine and vulnerable, truly care for each other, and spur each other on in the race set before us.

The groups will resume meeting again In September. If you are interested in joining one of these groups, or have any questions about the groups, reach out to Fr Andrew.
