This Sunday, October 9th, will be the last Sunday to contribute to our special Ukraine Relief Outreach of the church of Ela Kloda in Poland.
Her church has rented out two apartments for refugees, and they have committed to feeding 40+ families from the Ukraine. There are 85 children in these families of mothers (no fathers) and the cost is stretching their resources.
We are asking our members to prayerfully support this outreach. Checks can be made out to St. Luke’s Church with Ukraine Outreach in the memo.

MOPS & MOMSnext is a special gathering
to support moms.
We believe in the simple but revolutionary idea that remarkable things happen when moms come together.
“Mothers of Preschoolers” began to help moms share their lives and parenting journeys.
St. Luke's MOPS and MOMSnext meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month from 9:30-11:00 AM.
If you would like more information, contact Joy Unger or the church office.
Our next meeting is Wednesday, October 19th.

What is "Stage 4"?
Stage 4 is a group of regular people who happen to have cancer or have been closely touched by cancer in their lives.
What does "Stage 4" do?
Stage 4 creates comfort bags which are given to people entering into chemotherapy and cancer treatment. The bags are created by people who have gone through cancer treatment themselves and have a unique prospective on how to make time in treatment a little easier.
Why does "Stage 4" do this?
We are guided by 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, where we are told about the God of all Comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
How much do these bags cost?
The comfort bags are available free of charge for both men and women in cancer treatment.
How can You help with this ministry?
You would be most welcome if you would like to help with putting together comfort bags. Stage 4 meets in the Lower-Level Conference Room at St. Luke's Church on Thursday mornings at 9:30 AM and on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 PM.
