TODAY’S SPECIAL EVENTS

APRIL 7, 2013

The following is a list of events occuring today at St. Luke’s. For other events and upcoming information, pick up a COMMUNION MONTHLY, available at the end of the pews and at the Information Desk in the Narthex.

April Outreach of the Month Fletcher Place Community Center is the St. Luke’s Outreach of the Month for April. FPCC has a long history of being in ministry on the southeast side of Indianapolis. Throughout each month, you may find a St. Luke’s Outreach team serving breakfast, dinner or working in the food pantry. During the summer, FPCC sponsors, “Art in the City.” Art in the City is a daily summer program for students (K-12) to learn the gift of creativity. Teachers from the Herron School of Art assist students in a hands-on experience of creating many different mediums of art. Some of the artwork created this summer will be on display in our art gallery this fall. Our financial contributions will go toward helping this important ministry for children to thrive. If you would like to assist as a counselor during the summer or help prepare lunches, please contact Don Cochran at dcochran@cdsins.com.

PBJ for Hunger The Garden, St. Luke’s satellite ministry, invites you to help them prepare PB&J sandwiches and pack lunches today in the Great Hall from Noon-3PM. The food will be given to those in need in our community. Donations are also needed. If you can, please bring some of the following: peanut butter, jelly, baggies, plastic gloves, paper lunch bags, snack cups (applesauce, fruit, pudding), individual bags of chips, granola bars.
