Dear St. Lukers,
Shout out to our Missions servant leaders who helped us celebrate World Communion in tangible ways in worship on Sunday. We aided farmworkers by purchasing UV protection shirts and bandanas, raised awareness and prayers for our newest ZOE Empowers families in Rwanda and Zimbabwe, plus supported their business by purchasing over $1,000 worth of their handmade fans and Christmas cards, and we are adding to our collection of signed Right To Clean Water petitions. If you took some petitions with you to be signed, you can find colorfully decorated boxes all around campus to drop them in - remember, our goal is 2,000 by November 30!

Worship was full of great leadership by our children and youth as we gave away storybook Bibles to kindergarteners. We believe it’s important to support children and families as they Learn God’s story together, and your gifts make it possible to give Bibles to our kindergarteners, third graders, eighth graders, and graduating students each year. Your generosity through your offerings enables us to begin building disciples at the youngest age and help them feel comfortable reading God’s story (by the way, did you know we have 165 new first-time givers to St. Luke’s this year! It’s so exciting for each of you to be a part of shaping young people’s lives and letting them know who they are as God’s beloved! THANK YOU for your generosity!).
