SIGN UP NOW SO YOUR GRADE CAN WIN!

Meet us here at St. Luke's on Saturday, October 24th from 2 - 5 PM for an ALL-YOUTH event where we will square off against one another in grade-level teams. Compete against your fellow youth as we crown a champion out on the field!

Who will win it all?? Be there to find out!

Get ready to compete with students of all ages for a Thanksgiving Food Drive to help our neighbors.

Beginning this Sunday, kids from preschool to elementary to youth will begin collecting items to make Thanksgiving baskets that will be donated next month.

As a Youth Ministry, our specific goal is to collect as many cans of CORN as possible in order to have our Youth Director, Brandon, get a pie in the face on November 18!

So get out there and shop for corn, and drop your cans in the Youth Center starting this Sunday!

Introducing High School Drop-In!

Looking for a place to land after school? High School Drop-In is a welcoming space for high school students to hang out, work on homework or study for tests, and connect with friends and youth ministry leaders here on campus.

Drop-In will be available after school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays ONLY from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

This is when we can provide the adult supervision required by our church’s safety policy. This helps us care for our students, staff, and volunteers while continuing to offer a place for students to gather. As more approved adult volunteers become available, we hope to offer additional days.

For now, please plan your after-school visits for Tuesdays and Wednesdays!

Friendsgiving will be BIGGER and better than ever this year! We will be meeting at First UMC Winter Garden at 5 pm for a potluck dinner, games, worship, and just to make new friends.

This will be a joint High School event with FUMC Winter Garden and FUMC Winter Park. Meet us in Winter Garden and be sure to bring a side dish or dessert to share. The sign-up is below!

Do you need volunteer hours??

We need volunteers to welcome families, help with pumpkin sales, and create a fun, festive atmosphere for our community. We’re happy to sign off on volunteer hours for students! Whole families are welcome to volunteer together (as long as there’s an adult present), and you’re welcome to bring a wagon to help guests carry their pumpkins!

Whether you can give an hour or an afternoon, your time makes a huge difference. Sign up for one or more shifts and join us in making the patch a memorable experience for kids, families, and neighbors.

Sign up to serve October 13-31!

The Serve Team has been busy planning events for this fall. Now all we need is YOU! Check out these great opportunities below and SIGN UP NOW!

S.A.L.T.-Sunday, Nov. 22

This is an off-campus event with one of our favorite ministries! We first served with S.A.L.T. in downtown Orlando on a Middle School Mission Trip in 2024. Since then, we have continued our partnership with this grassroots organization that helps provide for the unhoused by offering free food, clothing, and showers. Come and serve with us! We'll meet at the church to drive to Apopka together at 1 PM and be back by 4.

Christian Service Center-Dec. 4

Join us as we head downtown to serve dinner to those in need. We will meet at the church around 4 pm to carpool downtown together. Only 10 slots available. Sign up as soon as you can!

We are once again excited to offer FREE DINNER near the beginning of every month for both MidPoint and HighPoint!

But we need your help. Your donations (no matter how big or small) provide food and fellowship for our hungry students.
