It feels like fall, and our Mission for Ministry program is gearing up for a campaign in October! Our Mission for Ministry packet outlines many of St. Luke’s ministries, and we appreciate all the volunteers whose work and dedication makes these ministries possible.

 

The ministries and programs that are highlighted in this year’s packet include Worship, Formation, Music, Online Ministries, Children and Youth, Young Adults, Hospitality and Fellowship, Outreach, Pastoral Care, Clergy, Staff, & Vestry, and Buildings & Grounds. These are vital components of our Parish Life. As you read this information, we ask you to consider their importance to St. Luke’s and to you personally.

 

At the 67th General Convention in 1982, the Episcopal Church adopted the tithe as the standard of giving for our churches. If your support of St. Luke’s is at this level, we thank you. Whatever your level of giving is at this time, we thank you for your generous support of St. Luke’s. A “giving chart” is included in this packet to help guide you. As you consider your pledge for 2026, please remember that our parish can only offer our programs and ministries with your support.

 

We are all blessed to be in a growing, healthy parish. We ask that you please  prayerfully consider your pledge for 2026 and be as supportive of our parish as you are able. Let us know if you have any questions. Let the church office know if you would like more information about or would like to be involved in any of our programs or ministries.

 

Love and peace,
