St Luke Greek Orthodox Church​

“Rise Up and Build”

Nehemiah 2:18

Beloved,

For almost 65 years, St Luke has been a beacon of hope, a haven of comfort and a wellspring of Christ’s love to all of you. Together with my predecessors of blessed memory, Fr Gregory and Fr Steve, the dynamic Parish Council and Philoptochos Presidents and selfless youth workers, St Luke answered the call of this year’s Stewardship theme to “Rise and Build”.  Of my 35 years as a priest, 25 of them have been blessed for my family and I to be with you as I minister to you the faithful. We have experienced firsthand what it means to “Rise and Build.”

 

This year, take a moment and reflect on the many blessings passed down to us by others and how we can respond in kind. Our Parish Council has kept our Stewardship Budget the same for many years now. Because of rising costs, we need to increase it this year.

 

Before completing the Commitment Card, I encourage you to prayerfully consider the depth of your commitment and what increase you may be able to offer your Church. A check mailed to the church is most meaningful when it is accompanied by your presence, your willingness to serve, your prayers, and your heartfelt dedication. Giving is not a substitute for commitment—it is an outward expression of your devotion and a way to thank God for the many blessings in your life.

With love in Christ,​​​

​
