Stewardship Ministries

The Stewardship Committee mission is to help each of us become better stewards of creation, acknowledging a commitment to proportionate giving. Some of the year-round activities currently include the Ministries Fair, fall pledge campaign, special stewardship events, The Anchor articles and lay speakers. Volunteers are needed from time to time for telephoning and visiting.

The Gifts/Memorials Committee recommends the use of gifts and memorials, reflecting the desires of the donor, the mission of St. Luke's and the physical needs of the parish. The committee consists of five members, one each from the Stewardship, Property, Altar Guild, Mission and Finance Committees. They meet regularly, once each quarter.

The Property Committee is responsible for planning and implementing the maintenance, repairs and emergencies of St. Luke's church, parish hall and grounds. In addition to the committee which meets quarterly, parishioners contribute their time and talent to take care of the smaller projects. Of course, professionals are hired to handle some things but the Property Committee is always looking for parishioners with technical skills or professional licenses who would like to help. A Breakfast/Project Party is held the third Thursday of every month beginning at 8:00 AM in the Dining Room. After breakfast and fellowship, the assembled men and women select from a list of projects what they would like to do that morning. In addition, Saturday morning work parties are scheduled each year, enabling employed parishioners to contribute as well.
