St. Luke's is a source of help and blessing to people facing difficult situations. Meeting their needs and providing comfort and prayer to those affected. We have been blessed to be a blessing in our tithe, our time, and our talents.
To help meet the many needs of our body, our community, and beyond, the first week of each month, any loose cash or change in the offering will be designated for the Rector's Benevolence Fund.
Checks with "Parish Benevolence" or "Rector's Benevolence" noted in the memo sections will also be added to each specific Benevolence fund. Thank you for your generousity and caring.

"The Reason for God"
Conversations on Faith and Life
Beginning Sunday after Easter, April 27th, and continuing for 6 sessions over 9 weeks, we invite you to learn how to speak with people in our culture who share the common objections to the Christian faith.
This video series responds to the questions of open skeptics and ardent believers, draws from literature, philosophy, reason, and real-life conversations to explain how faith in a Christian God is a sound and rational belief.
In six video sessions we will watch and listen as Pastor Timothy Keller and six panelists hold candid and unscripted discussions about the broad scope of people's discomforts with God, the Bible, and Christianity in general.
We will be challenged to wrestle with our friends' and neighbors' hardest questions and engage those questions in ways that will spark honest, enriching, and humbling dialogue.
Each session in this teaching series will be held after the worship service in the Sanctaury, beginning at 12:30 PM.

Alpha Marriage Course
Is it time for a tune up? Just like every car, every marriage needs some attention to help keep the blessings coming for the long haul.
After Easter, on Friday evenings, we will offer the Alpha Marriage Course. We'll begin at 6:30 PM with dinner and together we'll watch a video presentation and then have time to privately discuss some questions that will help us curate better habits and clearer communication in our marriage.
Mark your calendar starting on May 2nd and running for seven weeks. Childcare will be provided.
