Call for Mission Shares

We are putting in envelopes asking for assistance with our Mission Shares. These are the moneys which we pay to the United Methodist Conference to pay a number of things, including salaries for the administrators, retired clergy benefits, and designated missions. These monies make it possible for donations to relief efforts to be used 100% for the persons in need. We are very behind in our share of these funds. Please give what you can.

During September St Luke's is selling flower seeds and bulbs as part of the Raise the Roof campaign. 45% of proceeds go to St Luke's. See Lee Serapas or Cheryl Davis. Fliers and order forms are available after services in the narthex.

The "Raise the Roof" fund drive has reached over 30% of our goal. A chart in the Narthex is posted so the congregation can watch our progress. For more information contact Bruce Cameron.
