St. Luke's is honored to be featured in this special Good Shepherd Sunday video with Lutheran Social Services of Illinois!

Laura Wilhelm writes of Birthday Buddies: "Joey, Philip, Mark, Eric, Dawn, and Michael are the six residents at Lutheran Social Services Palmer Square Home. Every month or so, a group from St. Luke’s visits the home to celebrate birthdays and other special occasions with the residents and the amazing staff. The pizza, soda and home baked dessert brought to each visit are very well received. Many of the residents have a hard time with verbal communication but they, nevertheless, let it be known that these treats are so appreciated! Besides eating, we engage by singing songs, sometimes playing rhythm instruments or tossing balloons around. Anyone interested in joining a visit or becoming a regular birthday buddy is welcome to join."

St. Luke's Brings Joy and Celebration to Palmer Square

We’re proud of our Public Faith leader Em Jacoby who is featured in this article about war tax resistance.

An excerpt from the story:

[This year, for the first time, Jacoby said she’s not paying federal taxes — in protest against the federal government’s actions abroad. She said her breaking point came after her young child had seen reports of bombing in Gaza, where more than 20,000 children have been killed, and had a pointed question:

“Hearing my 7-year-old say, ‘We’re safe from the bombing here, aren’t we, Mom?’ Just holding that and also knowing how much privilege it is that she can say that, I think that’s what moves me.”]

President Donald Trump's military campaign against Iran, his administration's deportation efforts and U.S. support of Israel's attacks in Gaza have turned the tax season's familiar 1040 into a new form of civil disobedience.
