TODAY’S SPECIAL EVENTS
JUNE 16, 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.
Summer Outreach St. Luke’s Outreach has committed to partner with Nora, Fox Hill, Springmill and Greenbriar Elementary Schools to help connect with the 75% of their students who qualify for free or reduced lunch. That is over 2,000 students in the area surrounding the church. To address this need, St. Luke’s will be hosting the “Back to School Extravaganza” at our church August 4. This event will provide school supplies, clothing, food and other services to children at these four schools. This is a large undertaking . . . so we are asking you to get involved in this effort by sponsoring a child for $25 to get them the supplies they need, or you can pick up a supply list in the Narthex today and bring donations to the main office. If you work for a business that would like to participate, please let us know and we will bring a collection bin to you! Please contact Jamalyn Peigh Williamson at williamsonj@stlukesumc.com for more info.
Car Wash Today Wash your car’s “sins” away at this morning’s Youth Car Wash. This fundraiser for the upcoming Peru work trip takes place all morning. Either drive your car through a washing station, OR park it in the “wash while I worship” section and pick it up after the service. Teens and adult leaders will be washing cars for any donation amount.

Global Leadership Summit The annual Willow Creek Global Leadership Summit is a two-day experience packed with inspiration and information of both a religious and secular nature. This opportunity takes place August 8 & 9 at Grace Community Church. St. Luke’s is a partner this year, and because of that we are able to offer a reduced registration rate of $99, but that rate expires on June 25. Contact Kathy Alexander at alexanderk@stlukesumc.com or 846-3404 x345 for the registration link and partner code for the reduced fee.

Painters Needed! We're giving our children's area a new look this summer, updating classrooms and hallways. We'll be painting the weeks of June 24-July 5, July 15-19, & July 29-Aug 16 and will need LOTS of volunteer painters! You can sign up for any length of time (for a solid week, for one day each week, for a single day even). Email David Williamson at williamsond@stlukesumc.com to indicate when you'd be willing to serve. Thank you in advance for helping to brighten the world of children and families at our church!
