Honoring Our St. Luke’s Veterans

11/9/2021

 
Veterans Day
Sunday, November 14 - 3 PM

“The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence. I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.” – David (2nd Samuel 22:2-4)

St. Luke’s would like to give thanks to our fellow members who served our country. 

All are invited this Sunday afternoon, November 14 at 3 PM. We will gather around the flagpole at the main entrance of St. Luke’s. We will then enter the sanctuary for a special worship service.
