Lent – a time of deep reflection and anticipation is also a time of commitment to our most vulnerable neighbors near and far. Our Lenten Offering is one of the ways we fund life-transforming ministries, and what an opportunity to show up for children and families facing immense life challenges.

Will you join St. Luke’s Missions in setting aside at least $1.00 per day over 40 days for a special Lenten Offering to support Florida Immigration Law and Justice Center, and to help sponsor 180 children who are orphans in Rwanda through ZOE Empowers?

Please mark your gifts with “Lenten Offering” so we designate them to the right account. You can also give online by clicking the button below:
