Who Moved My Donuts?
Upcoming Service Work Trips
You may notice that Fellowship Hall is full of school supplies this morning instead of donuts! Because we are gearing up for our Back to School Extravaganza this afternoon, donuts and coffee have been temporarily relocated to the Great Hall for today. On your way to get your donuts, take a peek inside at what will become 1000 backpacks full of school supplies for children in our community.
If you are interested in an extended work trip with St. Luke's Outreach, please look at the opportunities to serve at www.stlukesumc.com/outreach for national and global opportunities. We have trips open in September to the Kentucky Children's Home and The Midwest Distribution Center. Next Sunday, August 11 there will be an informational session on a trip to Sierra Leone (February 2014) in Room C123 at 10:45AM. Rev. Don Griffith and Jackie King will lead this trip to work at Kissy Hospital in Feburary of 2014. We are seeking people with medical, physical therapy, mechanical and carpentry skills. We hope you will consider this or one of our many work trips as an opportunity to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus.
