Christmas with St. Luke

For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  Isaiah 9:6

Greetings St. Luke Church Family Households!

Celebrate the Birth of our Savior together with our Church Family. Check back here for new information and details as they're updated.

Secret Santa &
Christmas Day Zoom
Celebration

Until we can meet with our physical presence, the Secret Santa is a way to share Jesus' birth with each other. The Secret Santa sharing will start November 29, 2020, the beginning of Advent, and will culminate with our Zoom 10am Christmas Day Gathering, where we open our Secret Santa gifts and meet our Secret Santas. Let us use the principles of Advent: hope, peace, joy, and love to connect with another St. Luke household.

Secret Santa or not, the Zoom Christmas Day Gathering is open to all.  

Wondering how to be a Secret Santa?
  • Pray daily for your household.
  • Regularly, write notes (via text, email, instant messenger US mail or any other way you wish to make contact—maybe secret front porch drops).
  • Secretly deliver a holiday blessing (limit $20 per household) with an enclosed card identifying the Secret Santa. (Scholarships are available for any household that desires a financial scholarship
    for the Secret Santa gift purchase.)
  • This project is a great chance to show creativity with your special talents, be it baking, sewing, painting, gardening, or some other like talent.
