Upcoming LWML (Faithful Friends) Events at St. Luke

Faithful Friends invites all women in the congregation to participate with the group.  Whether you can only make meetings once in a while, or if you can participate more often, we would love to have you join us to build each other up and talk about how we can encourage others.

Would like to bless families in need in our congregation with meals.  Would you like to help provide meals or help coordinate meals?  If so, please provide your e-mail address or phone number on the sign-up table so Faithful Friends can contact you the next time there is need for meals. Thank you!
