Centered in God, guided by His Word, we share Christ’s love with all.

​​Worship is central to our life together as God’s people.
​Every person, no matter where you are on life's journey, will find a warm and inviting community among us. 

Gracious God,
You have called us to be part of your church as members of St. Luke's United Church of Christ.  Make us a community of peacemakers and bridge-builders.  In the midst of turbulence, let our church make space for the hearing of Your still small voice. 
Bless our St. Luke's family and enable us to do Your will.  Keep us one in faith and service; breaking bread together and sharing Your good news with the world for many years to come.
Amen

Missions

During this unprecedented time when all of our minds are on the Coronavirus crisis it is important for us to also remember those of us with even greater need.

Daily Bread Community Food Pantry

St. Luke’s will again collect Thanksgiving holiday donations of turkeys, perishables and staples for the Daily Bread Food pantry. Gift cards and cash donations are also welcome.

Due to limited storage at the pantry, we will be taking donations on a weekly basis throughout November. The additional refrigerator will be plugged in and available beginning Sun, October 31st through Mon, November 22nd. Other items can go in the wooden box by the back door to the church building.
​
Please help make another family’s holiday a bit brighter by sharing your bounty with them. Thank you for your support!
 - The pantry is open on the regular client schedule.  Please check their website for the list of current needs or to donate.  http://dailybreadcommunityfoodpantry.org/

The Christmas Fund

​Sunday, December 19th is the date for the last special Missions offering for this year. The Christmas Fund has been caring for active and retired clergy and lay employees of the United Church of Christ for over 100 years. It provides emergency grants, supplements to small annuities and health premiums and holiday thank you checks each December to lower-income retirees. UCC congregations and members have blessed the Christmas Fund with their generosity for many years. This year, your care and compassion will be especially appreciated by those servants of the church who are facing a time of need.
Please use the special envelope provided early in the year for your donation. Or make sure you add a note to your check to designate it for this purpose. Thank you for your support!
For more information and a testimony by a beneficiary, watch this heartwarming video. (Get out your box of tissues first.)

We’re planning to provide gifts to needy local children through the Salvation Army’s Angel Tags program once again. The Missions Team expects to have tags available before Thanksgiving this year, hopefully on Sun, November 14th. Gifts will be due back at St. Luke’s by Sun, December 5th. Please stay tuned to the weekly bulletin and service announcements for more specific information after we hear from the Salvation Army team.
​
One additional request for this year’s donations--please place your gift(s) in a new, previously unused gift bag and staple the angel tag to the outside of the bag.

Women's Breakfast

​We are going to start the Monthly Women’s Breakfast again. It has been a long time and I am sure there are plenty of stories to keep us busy for quite a few months. The Breakfast will be held on the SECOND Thursday of each month at 9:00am in the Spring Ford Dinner in Spring City, our old stomping grounds. Please ask for the St. Luke’s group and they will let you know where we are. Please plan on joining us and catching up with each other.
A BLESSINGS BOX
​
We will be initiating a Blessings Box where you can donate a monetary gift for a Blessing you have had in your life. It could be a blessing that you have each week or a blessing that came to you all of a sudden and you would like to be thankful for the event. The monies will be placed in an account that at the end of the year the Council will designate where the funds will go; someone needy or to an organization that is doing good for the community.
St. Luke’s UCC is now registered for smile.amazon.com.

​Go to www.smile.amazon.com and type in “St. Luke’s United Church of Christ Trappe” for all your future Amazon orders and St. Luke’s will receive .5% of the proceeds.
