WHAT'S HAPPENING AT ST LUKE?
RETURN TO INSIDE WORSHIP
Sunday, November 1, 2020
We return to inside worship next week, November 1. Traditional Worship will be held at 8:30 am and Contemporary Worship at 10:30 am. Both services will be in the Fellowship Hall to allow more people to worship while physically distanced. To help us make sure we have room for everyone who wants to attend, please reserve your seats online.
72 seats are available in the Fellowship Hall. Overflow seating will be available in the Traditional Sanctuary. Face coverings will be required.

If you're not ready to attend in-person, each service will be live-streamed to allow you to worship from home. We invested in new livestream equipment over the summer and will be using it for the first time on November 1. Please be patient as we work out the bugs.

The Nursery and St Luke Kids for Preschool will be available. Kids that are under 3 will be able to go to the nursery, and kids 3 and 4 can go to preschool rooms. We have protocols in place and Colleen will be posting those online next week.

November 1 is All-Saints Sunday. We will take time in each service to remember loved ones we've lost in this past year. It is also the end of daylight saving time. Enjoy an extra hour of sleep on us...you earned it!

In preparation for worship inside, we need volunteers who can help set-up chairs on Fridays. Click the button to sign up or call the church office.
FAMILY FALL FESTIVAL

We cannot wait to come together in a safe way to celebrate Fall together! Join us for a night of pumpkin carving, crafts, costumes, candy and snacks and an OUTDOOR MOVIE with your family. All are welcome and we encourage you to invite friends and register with families you want to sit with.
Tables will be spaced out to ensure physical distancing and we encourage you to bring blankets and chairs! Pumpkins, carving supplies, crafts, food and movie all provided. Wear your favorite costume and receive a special goodie bag and be entered in our costume contest!

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER!
