St. Luke's engages in a number of outreach efforts and is constantly seeking opportunities to further expand our giving. Our financial gifting to local and global programs address human needs. Weekly we collect canned goods to distribute locally to those in need.
As part of our annual Stewardship we identify and pursue additional opportunities to share with those in need. We regularly contribute to the course of the year we identify semi-annually through our Gifting Committee.
Luv Mitts Ministry Created by parishioner Lydia Kessler, Luv Mitts are cozy fingerless mittens made from repurposed sweaters and embellished with beautiful stitches and buttons. Each stitch and button have meaning, and each pair is unique. They are given in love to provide comfort and express caring for the recipient. Sometimes recipients are given two pairs, with the instruction to “keep one and pass one on.”
To date, Lydia has crafted over 4000 pair and is now teaching others how to make them in church member workshops! Luv Mitts have been given and shared with people all over the country. She has an expansive vision to bring the Mitts to ever increasing numbers of people.
