Nurture Ministries

Nurture Ministry is called to take care of our congregation members. They offer opportunities of fellowship, small groups, care, and activities to nourish the congregation.

Opportunities in Nurture Ministry:

· Card Ministry - Greeting cards are sent to those with current prayer needs.

· Martha’s Ministry - Loving assistance to church families during times of bereavement. Providing receptions for funerals or memorial services and/or providing meals for the family.

· Travelers - local and long-distance travel opportunities for adults planned throughout the year.

· First Aid and Blood Drives - twice a year we have a blood drive with the best canteen you have ever seen. We also offer training in first aid periodically.

· Prayer Shawl Ministry - A group of knitters and crocheters make prayer shawls and pray for those who will receive them.

· Fellowship Events - throughout the year we plan fellowship events for our congregation.

· Advent Dinner - our annual dinner to celebrate Advent and Christmas as a church family.

· SL8 - St. Luke’s 8 is adult fellowship in groups of 8 that meet for dinner, Bible study, book reviews, or other activities.

· Wednesday Night Suppers - a weekly dinner during the school year to give people a mid-week break and for fellowship with
fellow church members.
