Rooted in God's Abundance
Picture
Your gifts of me, talent and treasure are what make St. Luke’s so special and enable us to carry out our mission. It is that !me of year. With the cooler temperatures and the falling leaves, we need to plan and budget for 2024, and we need your help. Our theme for 2024 is “Rooted in God’s Abundance,” a reminder that all we have is because of God’s abundance.

We are mailing pledge cards and further information on our 2024 pledge campaign. Please be on the lookout for your letter. We’ll also have pledge cards at church, which you can pick up on your way into services. Please either mail your completed pledge card to the office, drop it in the offering plate, or place it in the gold box which will be in the sanctuary during our pledge drive. As pledges come in, we’ll keep you updated with our Rooted in
God’s Abundance poster which will be in the recep!on area.

Your contributions help make St Luke’s a place to “Find a Home, Serve Others, & Nourish Your Spirit.” Thank you from your vestry for your ongoing generous support of St. Luke’s.
