Saint Luke's Displays Flags
In honor of Memorial Day and the men and women who died in service to their country, American flags line the front of the church along Mount Vernon Rd. Thank you to Saint Luke's member Kim Fadel, and all the Saint Luke's veterans who helped to display the flags, which will remain displayed until June 2.
Pentecost Packets for Kids!
Send Your Video To Erin Murray!
All Saint Luke's kids will be receiving (or have already received) a packet filled with the
Pentecost story, as well as some fun things that float or fly! As you see these toys move through the air, think about the mighty winds of the Holy Spirit that came to Jesus' friends 50 days after the first Easter - and after Christ had ascended to heaven. We want to see the fun...so take a short video of the outside fun so that we can share with our church family during our live stream worship on Pentecost Sunday, which is May 31. Please send videos to
Erin Murray.

Would you like to help keep our church family connected?
Staying connected to each other has perhaps never been more important. While our Deacons are doing great ministry with their flocks, we know there is more that we, as a church family, can do. We have devised a system to help ensure that our members, particularly those who may need extra encouragement during this time, feel connected as a church family. If you would like to assist in this effort to stay connected, please volunteer on our web site, or contact Shannon Dill, Mary Martin or Cathie Rogers.
Do You Need Assistance?
The Board of Deacons of the church has mobilized care and caregivers for anyone who needs assistance during this time of isolation, like shopping and other errands. Contact Pastor Shannon Dill or Loving Care Committee deacon chair Emily Ritzler for more information.
Saint Luke's Prayer Connections
One of the best ways we have to be connected together right now is through our prayers! For one another and for those who have named they would like to receive them. Would you like to be added to the Saint Luke's Prayer List, by which you can be guided in prayers for the community and congregation? If so, please email
pastors@slpres.org and
ask to be added to a weekly email distribution list.
Saint Luke's Support for Those in Job Transition
