St. Luke's Week in Review

An Incredible Evening of Community (and Pumpkins)!

What an incredible evening at St. Luke’s Fall Family Fun Night last week! More than 500 people from across the church and community came together to celebrate the season with pumpkins, laughter, and connection.

Families enjoyed the return of the Pumpkin Patch, lively trunk-or-treat fun, bounce houses, soccer games, crafts, and more—all made possible by our amazing CDC teachers, Boy Scouts, and ministry volunteers of all ages.

We heard so many heartwarming comments:

“So many memories in St. Luke’s Pumpkin Patch!”
“Now I can recreate pictures that were taken so long ago, but this time with my grandchildren!”
“So happy to have this tradition back!”

It was a night filled with community and the spirit of St. Luke’s—thank you to everyone who made it so special!
