YOU BELONG: IN COMMUNITY Check out all the ways you can find community at St. Luke’s!
5•3•1 LEARN MORE AT STLUKESUMC.COM/LENT During Lent, we’ll be focusing on what we call the 5 • 3 • 1 (pray for 5 people, invite 3 people to church or an event, bring 1 with you!) This is important because we want to make sure everyone knows that we are a safe place where they can belong and grow in their faith no matter who they are, what they look like, or who they love. Imagine what could happen if we prayed for 10,000 people, invited 6,000 individuals, and brought another 2,000 to one of our worship experiences, groups, or events? Lives would be transformed! Be sure to stop by our Connection Center to pick up a prayer magnet or visit stlukesumc.com/lent for a free download you can post on your fridge. You can also sign one of the prayer wall banners or visit stlukesumc.com/lent to add your prayer requests. LENTEN GROUPS BEGIN THIS WEEK We want over 800 of you to say yes to being a part of a Lenten group! We know that being in community allows you to grow as a disciple of Jesus, engage deeper in the life of the church, and grow in relationships in a whole new way! Find a group based on life stage, specific day or time, and more at stlukesumc.com/group-finder. ELDERBERRIES LUNCHEON (55+) TUESDAY, MARCH 15 • 11:30AM Are you 55 or older and looking for community?
