Saint Luke's Updates & Cancellations
On Sunday, March 15, the Saint Luke's Session decided, in order to preserve public health and protect those most vulnerable in our congregation and community in these uncertain times, on the following actions:
All church activities that require in-person gathering have been canceled indefinitely, consistent with the decision made by Dekalb County School District in consultation with state and county boards of health.
The church building and office will be closed for at least two weeks (beginning March 16), consistent with the closure of Dunwoody's City Hall.
The Board of Deacons of the church has also mobilized care and caregivers for anyone who needs assistance during this time of isolation, like shopping and other errands.
For more details, please read the
March 15 letter from Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. David Lower regarding the latest information on Saint Luke's and coronavirus.
Adult Sunday School and Small Groups Will Meet Online
Adult Sunday school classes and other small groups will meet virtually/online! Please check with your class/group leader or contact Shannon for more information.
We will also have online opportunities for everyone to join in fellowship and spiritual growth. Details will be posted on our Facebook page, website and Highlights emails as they become available.
Kids' Faith Formation
Just because there's no Sunday School doesn't mean we stop experiencing fun faith lessons together. Check our web site on Friday to discover music and movement, videos, do-at-home activities, and more!
Lent Devotion:
The Struggle is Real
Little did we know when we began the season of Lent that the struggle would be what it is today. As you find yourself with time and perhaps more accurately with more need to reflect on a daily basis, we are hopeful that in preparing our hearts and minds during these days leading to Easter we will come to experience the hope and joy of the resurrection in new and powerful ways. Here are two online daily devotional options:
Lenten Devotional 1 (based on the Narrative Lectionary passages used in worship)
In addition, the Saint Luke's Youth Council will be doing an Instagram devotional. Check out @slpresyouth

Habitat 2020: New Start Date
A Place To Call Home - A House Rehabbed With Love
Just as many other events have been affected by the current crisis with the corona virus, so too has the Habitat project. As of now, the start date has been moved to April 4. If that happens, we will have the dedication ceremony on June 6. That means we have a time out for two Saturdays, April 11 (Easter weekend) and May 23 (Memorial Day weekend). But . . . stay tuned. That start date could shift to a later date.To read the latest information from Saint Luke's Habitat coordinator Daryl Moore, click

Thanks to everyone who picked up an Easter bag to help foster children currently living in a group home sponsored by CHRIS 180. Saint Luke's member Nan Keel will be in touch about an alternate plan for collecting completed bags.
