of life's events (birthday, anniversary, etc.), is a wonderful way to give
thanks to God for the blessings of memories, family, and friends.  This
opportunity is available to every parishioner from all three
congregations in our parish.  The cost of donating a bulletin is $25.00.  If
you would like to donate such a bulletin, please contact Karen Dawe at

St. Luke's Congregation host a fellowship evening once a month

to one another as well as to welcome new families into our congregation.

are looking for three or four individuals at a time, to provide the snacks
for these occasions.  Once again, this is a monthly event and if we have
enough interest, you will only be called upon once or twice a year.  If you
are interested there is a sign-up sheet at the back of the church.  Your
support is greatly appreciated.
