St. Luke's Senior Newsletter February 2023

St. Luke’s offers many activities for active adults. This vibrant group of disciples worship, connect, grow, serve, and commit to all that God calls us to!

A new ministry is emerging at St. Luke's!

As part of our ongoing commitment to share, support, celebrate, and walk alongside one another as we navigate life together, St. Luke’s wants to hear from you! How can we support you as you transition to retirement, as you experience life as an empty nester, and as you consider what God might be calling you to do in the next stage of your life?

Join us on Sunday, February 26 in the Coleman Memorial Gymnasium (Building C), after each worship service to share your thoughts and ideas for activities and programming for adults north of 50.

You can RSVP at st.lukes.org/seniors or just drop in. We are excited to hear from you!
