Stewardship Thought


As people dedicated - heart, soul, and possessions - to God's purposes, we put all we have and all we are into the service of God. The ELCA slogan says it simply: "God's work. Our hands."


September 11 was the kick-off to our fall 2022 Stewardship Appeal where we will focus each week on one of our core values:  

Service, Worship, Evangelism, Christian, Stewardship, and Discipleship (Simply What Every Christian Should Do). Our appeal will culminate on Sunday, October 23 when we ask everyone to make a commitment to these core values. The appeal is titled, Stewardship is Heart Work.


"By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." John 13:35

yardwork

Rain Garden


Nine Mile Creek Watershed has turned over the care of the rain garden to St. Luke’s. There are some plants that didn’t make it due to the dry stretch we had earlier this summer, and an erosion problem when we received heavier rains. The plants were replaced. Now it will be up to us to water them. The mulch was replaced and where the runoff first enters the rain garden with rock. This should slow the initial rush of water before it reaches the mulch.


We are looking for volunteer(s) to take over the care of the rain garden. Click here for a link to the training information from Nine Mile Creek.  


We are also looking to see if anyone has an old poly or steel sided cooler (no Styrofoam please) that is 50 quarts or larger. The intent is to use this to haul water to the new plantings in the rain garden. Each new plant needs ½ gallon of water per week. St. Luke’s has a sturdy wagon with pneumatic tires to carry the cooler. The cooler will need to fit inside a 23” x 46” footprint. Please call me (952-715-2819) if you are interested in donating a cooler.


The YCG is still meeting on Monday and Wednesday mornings 9:00ish to 12:00ish. There is always something to do!
