You’re invited to help share the message of “U Are Loved at St. Luke’s” with our community by turning your car into a mobile billboard!

As you arrive on campus for worship this week, park in the side soccer field so our volunteer team can paint a special stencil onto your back windshield (the paint is washable, of course!). We also have heart shaped car magnets as an alternative option if you prefer! It’s fun, simple, and a chance to let the whole town know that they are loved. Make plans to join in the fun, and we’ll see you Sunday!

We’re looking for more Car Painting Party volunteers on May 17 and 24! Sign up to help direct traffic, greet folks as they arrive, paint the stencils on, and more! See opportunities and get plugged in at the link below:
