GO in service to others… BACK TO SCHOOL EXTRAVAGANZA In a season when many churches have had to pull back – St. Luke’s is going all in. Back to School Extravaganza is changing but still responding to God’s call in powerful ways. We’ve partnered with Washington Township schools and are raising $60,000, to provide school supplies not for 1,000 students but for 4,000 students registered for free or reduced lunch in the district. So go all in with us this year by donating financially, adopting a classroom with your small group to support students all year or signing up to pack school supplies on July 27, 28 or 29. Visit stlukesumc.com/event/397 to donate or register. Together, let’s not make this the year COVID-19 disrupted school but the year that St. Luke’s went all in.
