St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Gresham

Lainey and Jennifer, the leaders of our Children's Ministry Team, have been looking through every nook and cranny of the church to see what they can find for the classroom they're sprucing up ahead of our Children's Ministry launching for the year on September 20th. They even brought Jesus out of the closet, though you'll need to ask them about that.

Peter demonstrates over and over again that he’s willing to bear the perceived shame of looking dumb, to drown in an angry sea, to endure even the harsh rebuke of his beloved teacher, if it gets him closer to understanding what Jesus is trying to teach him and his fellow disciples.

Maybe in all his stumbling, in all his questioning, in all his naivete, Peter is the most faithful after all.

Children’s Ministry is returning starting September 20th!
Parents, you can fill out your permission forms online here:

During the school year, we offer Children’s Ministry two Sundays each month. Early in the service, we sing them out to their own sanctuary where they learn more about our scriptures and tradition in their own ways, then they return before communion.

All of our Children’s Ministry teachers and volunteers have completed Safe Church training, and we perform background checks on anyone who has regular contact with children and other vulnerable people.

Please make sure to fill out a permission form for your child!
We need a new one each year. Again, here's the link: https://forms.gle/QpcynMMt53Lqj7mK7

Look at this group of lovely ladies who gathered for Just Lunch yesterday! Thanks to Roberta for hosting and everyone who brought salads and desserts to share. What a blessing it is to share some no-agenda time and conversation with other women.

St. Luke's leadership is considering installing air conditioning in the Sanctuary, but we never want to make these kinds of big decisions without the whole community's input. Please fill out this *very* brief survey and let us know what you think here: https://forms.gle/eY2npsRtBFx4miox5

All the photos from a beautiful Sunday with the bishop. Congratulations to Nathan and ShayLyn, and our friends Katie and Zack visiting from St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Portland, who were all confirmed! And a huge thanks to all who set up a fabulous Coffee Hour.

We still need some volunteers to help take care of Jacob, our Parish Hall robovac. This is a job that won’t require much of your time (maybe 15 minutes), and you can do at whatever time of day is convenient for you (except when there are meetings, of course). If you’re already on the church campus regularly, maybe consider combining it with another task you do at the church—like Coffee Hour or tending to the grounds.

Contact Rev. Sara if you can help!

More photos to come this week!

Bishop Diana Akiyama will be at St. Luke's tomorrow to confirm and receive folks, including some visiting friends from St. Andrew's! Join us at 10 a.m.!

As you can see, the sanctuary looked a little different the last time she was here.
