The Guild is a group of women who provide support services for the parish, such as, praying for the parish and parishioners, organizing the coffee hour after worship, sponsoring fundraising dinners, "spring cleaning" the church, selling home-made items, hosting receptions after special services and other assistance as needed. The joyful fellowship we share as we complete our tasks makes the load light. The Guild contributes a minimum of 10% of all moneys raised go to "Building Fund" for the Church Vision. The remaining funds are used for Beaver Cross summer camp scholarships, items for the kitchen, classroom, nursery and special parish projects.

As a way of wrapping those in need in prayers of comfort during a time when they need it the most, our clergy or others take knitted shawls (blankets) to those who are home-bound, in nursing homes and in hospitals and to those who are mourning a death or who are going through difficult transition time in their lives. Shawls can also be given in joyful occasions as well, such as weddings or the birth of a baby. Members of the ministry prayerfully knit or crochet a small blanket or a shawl often with the recipient in mind. When completed, the blanket or shawl is presented at our worship service where it is blessed and parishioners say additional prayers over it. Yarn donations are appreciated.

  Those involved in Comfort Works use their talents and time to make articles to ease physical and/or emotional pain. Our projects provide items for local support groups include pillows for breast cancer patients, heart pillows for adults and children, fleece lap robes for hospice patients, flannel blankets for NICU babies, small heart shaped pillows for grieving teens, and outfits for teddy bears for abused children. Internationally we made pillowcase dresses for children in Haiti and Zimbabwe. Any suggestions for new projects will be enthusiastically received. We meet most Wednesdays from 4 to 5:45pm. All are welcome. We find uses for any your talents! Come and enjoy fellowship.   

St. Luke's Altar Guild is a team of parishioners who volunteer to prepare the altar and sanctuary for worship services. For those who want to serve God behind the scenes, this may be just right for you. Tasks include setting-up the altar, cleaning linens, polishing brass & silver, arranging for the purchase or donation of plants, flowers and decorating the sanctuary for special services and holidays. 

Anyone can call St. Luke's church when the sudden need for prayer arises. Our prayer chain ministry provides a way to rally the church members when focused prayer is needed. We use a telephone tree to quickly reach "chain team" members, give them only as much information as needed, (as provided by the person requesting prayer), and begin the focused prayer. 

Fellowship and Fund Raising Events Include: Chocolate Extravaganza and Desert Festival in February, Clam Chowder Dinner during Lent, Annual Craft Fair in September and Pulled Pork Dinner in October.  

The Lawn Rangers is a group of volunteers who donate their time and energy to keep the grounds neat and clean. We plant flowers, weed, rake and sow as needed.  If you find digging into God's good earth irresistible, we would love to have you join us.
