Night Watch Sign Up
Keeping watch on Maundy Thursday into Good Friday is an ancient spiritual practice of the church in which teams of people come for one hour to pray and reflect on the events of Holy Week, in anticipation of Easter. We provide space in Wilmer Chapel, as well as prayers and other material for reflection. We ask folks to come in teams of two and to sign up for the hours they will cover.
Please sign up at the Reception Desk.

Fill the Outreach Baskets
In April we’re collecting for Forever Family, an organization that works with children whose parents are incarcerated. One of their most important programs taking the kids to visit their parents and we’re collecting snack items to make that trip more palatable: individually wrapped cheese (cheddar squares or string cheese), individual packets of nuts ( no peanuts but they love almonds, walnuts, cashews), Slim Jims.
If you are interested in sharing God’s love and volunteering through the Fill the Outreach Baskets ministry or have any questions about donations, please contact the Rev. Horace L. Griffin (

Creation Sunday is April 28 at St. Luke’s and we will welcome Dr. Gerald Durley as our guest speaker. Dr. Durley is the legendary “warrior/prophet” minister who, for more than a quarter of a century, has not only transcended his Christian faith and his Providence Missionary Baptist Church pulpit, but has embraced and encouraged an entire generation of Atlanta’s unique brand of civil and human rights-based leadership. Dr. Durley believes we all are entitled to clean water, toxic-free air, and a non-polluted environment.
Have you have you made the pledge to grow a loving, liberating, life-giving relationship with the whole of God’s Creation; to join with others to protect and renew the Earth and all who call it home so that, together, we are living the Way of Love? If not, go online to the St. Luke’s website and scroll down to the Take the Pledge icon and click it -- or just click on the button below.
