Last night I had the privilege to gather at the round table in the conference room with St. Luke’s Knights of the Round Table – the Mission Team. These are members who selflessly give of their time and treasure to lead St. Luke’s Mission out into the world. Listed are those who were in attendance along with the organizations they connect with on behalf of St. Luke’s. There is lots of crossover and mutual support for organizations and fellow Knights, but I’m identifying one member for each.
Bev Brosam – Raise Right, Oasis for Homeless Youth, Lift Garage Britt Halaas – Council Representative Craig Brandt – Feed My Starving Children Janet Lyson – VEAP and Quilting Larry Nelson – American Red Cross Blood Drive. Pat Cavanaugh – Loaves and Fishes Roger Lyson – Bridging In addition to the Knights gathered, there are many others… Gina Griffith – Meals on Wheels and Ebenezer Glenn Orphanage Community Life, Faith Formation, and the Mission Team – The Sandwich Project And as a congregation we join others of the ELCA to support the following organizations: Camp Wapo Lutheran Disaster Response Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service Lutheran Social Services MN Minneapolis Synod Last night another member attended seeking a seat at the Round Table, nominating another organization. That is how the Mission Team works at St. Luke’s. Each organization has a member representative. Missions, Outreach and Service Statement "Putting God's love in action; our multi-generational congregation shares our talents, gifts and prayers in service and support, which enhances quality of life and inspires hope in our church and the community, both local and global – Making Christ Known to the world."

During this Thanksgiving and Christmas time as a congregation we have… Thanksgiving Eve Special Collection for VEAP. Pointsetta Sales proceeds and donations for Loaves and Fishes.
