St. Luke’s

Ministry Fair September 20, 2026 11:15am. Please join us for our annual Ministry Fair in the auditorium. This will give you an opportunity to find a place for you to use your “ Time and Talents”. Find how you can build a deeper relationship within our St. Luke’s community. Remember, we are St. Luke’s.

Calling All Guardians of the Galaxy! Our Vestry is seeking to create a team of volunteers to assist with supervising our campus during times when the facility is being used by the community at large. The precise specifications of the roles have yet to be finalized, as we would like input from team members. Everyone interested in exploring this new ministry may contact Kathy McNulty at: km_teamrental@stlukesmetuchen.org

Our Fall Kickoff picnic is scheduled for Sunday, 13 September (the Sunday AFTER Labor Day) at 11.30am. Everyone is invited! Tammy F. will have sign-up sheets in the back of the nave for those who can help bring food or drinks.
Michelle L. is organizing a bouncy house for the kids and could use your donations as well as your help with a brief shift monitoring the children. People can chat with Michelle at coffee hour or e-mail.
Your help is needed to set up tables and chairs (from 9-9.30) and to put them away (about 1.30-2pm). Please email or speak to Fr. Todd if you can help with set-up and/or tear-down

METUCHEN CARES (Community Action for Recovery, Education, and Support)
5th Annual Overdose Awareness Day: Monday August 31, 2026, 7pm at Borough Hall. By recognizing addiction as a disease and understanding its symptoms and consequences without judgment, we can overcome the stigma, isolation, and destruction that afflict those with a substance use disorder and their families. Everyone is invited and particularly families with children in Middle and High School.
