Fall Festival and Stewardship

​“Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
– Jesus (Matthew 28:20)
 
This promise from Jesus means little to those who are in need. That is why I am so proud of St. Luke’s for being a Matthew 25 Congregation.
 
‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food… And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it to me.’ – Matthew 25:37,40
 
Yesterday, Monday night, at Feed My Starving Children in Chanhassen, St. Luke’s helped pack 122 Boxes, containing 26,352 meals which can feed 72 children for a year. In addition we brought our congregational gift of $1,000 that was matched in honor of World Hunger Day.
 
If you missed yesterday, join us tomorrow, Wednesday. October 18, 5:30 PM as we kick off the Fall Festival serving the Sandwich Project making 400 Sandwiches for Groveland Food Shelf. Stay for the BBQ, games, crafts, and campfire with s’mores.
 
In addition to these three St. Luke’s serves a number of neighbors through a variety of organizations. This one of the most powerful ways as a community of faith, we are busy making Christ known to the world.
 
These are everyday examples of St. Luke’s living out its mission. In case you missed last week’s bulletin insert…
