When one goes through divorce, everything changes.

Led by Dr. Scott Sweet (LFMT, Centerpoint Couseling). Two options begin this week; get all the details in the May Communion Monthly, or contact David Williamson (williamsond@stlukesumc.com) for more info.

Rejuvenate

Need a Date Night Out?

The average United Methodist pastor graduates from seminary with about $50,000 in educational debt and is appointed to a congregation where the beginning salary is $39,000. Rejuvenate is a program of the Annual Conference Foundation where gifts provide scholarships for current seminarians and financial assistance for current pastors with educational debt. Every gift is matched by the Lilly Endowment up to $3 million. $1.2 million has been donated and matched to date. An envelope is inserted in today’s Worship Guide for your use in making a gift to help support this initiative. Thank you for your generosity.

St. Luke’s Parents’ Night Out will be registering new families in May. PNO is a co-op childcare program that runs from August to May on the 2nd Saturday of the month from 5:30–9PM. Children aged four months through 3rd grade are eligible to participate. See details in the May Communion Monthly.
