Gospel Reflection
Jesus and his disciples are looking for a peaceful place. The crowds intrude and they have needs. The disiciples see the crowds are hungry, but don't think they have the resources to meet that need. Jesus believes otherwise. Jesus follows his customary pattern with food: take, thank, break, and give. What follows is abundance.
Come to St. Luke's this week and experience abundance as we gather around the Jesus' table.

Smoke Detector Campaign
Remember, a member of our congregation has generously offered to match your gift of any amount up to $5,000. If you have not given earlier or if you are moved to give a little more, why not do it now while the “matching” gift is in effect? Let’s close the gap!
Thank you!
