St. Luke's Christmas Raffle
St. Luke's Women's Guild is raffling six fabulous Christmas baskets to raise money for Trinity Homes, The Village at Orchard Ridge, and to help with costs of our new vestments and updates to the Parish Hall. Tickets have been mailed to all of our houses, and additional tickets are available from the office. Tickets are $3 each or $10 for four. A new huge "huckelberry" basket was added after tickets were created, so simply write in "huckelberry" on your ticket if you want to try for that raffle. The family that sells the most tickets will be given a $50 gift card. The drawings will be made on Dec. 5. Checks are made out to St. Luke's Guild, and tickets may be dropped or mailed to the office.

Join us for a night at the movies at St. Luke’s, Thursday, December 14, 6pm-8pm. Mission: JOY, Finding Happiness in Troubled Times features two of the world’s most revered spiritual leaders sharing spiritual wisdom and cutting edge neuroscience that show us exactly how we can each access more joy, no matter our circumstances. His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu share their wisdom (and humor) through this laugh-out-loud documentary film – a great theme for our focus during Advent.
Alternative Gift Giving the Christmas with KIVA
Tired of giving the same old gifts to people who really don’t need anything new? This year give a gift that makes a difference and keeps on giving for years to come.
Starting in December on Sundays you can purchase a KIVA loan and receive a certificate honoring relatives and friends as a special gift. If you are unavailable to come in person, you can still give by going to St. Luke’s Webb site stlukescda.org. KIVA is a non-profit organization that allows people to lend money to low-income entrepreneurs and students in 77 different countries with different types of needed loans (livestock, heath, arts, food, agriculture and more). KIVA mission is "to expand financial access to help underserved communities thrive." Since 2005, KIVA has crowd-funded more than 1.6 million loans, totaling over $1.33 billion, with a repayment rate of 95.8 percent. After the loans are repaid they are put back into the KIVA network continuing to serve others. St. Luke’s has been a participant since 2008. Go to kiva.org to learn more.
