Generous Living As we explore Unstoppable Faith in the book of Acts, we are reminded that the early church was unrelenting in sharing the gospel through inexplicable generosity and love for those around them. They challenged the norms and mores of the day to extend the love of Jesus to those unlike them. May we have the same courage this week to live with unstoppable freedom in our generosity and love towards others.

Visit our new website Latvia Mission Trip For a decade, St. Luke’s has partnered with the Sloka Lutheran Church in Latvia. From June 29-July 13, a team of 13 volunteers will travel over for a week-long English Camp. The cost for travel, meals, and camp supplies for a week of ministry is approximately $30,000. Participants will pay part of this expense, but we hope you will link arms in support of this ministry as well. Please prayerfully consider supporting the team financially. Checks can be made to St. Luke’s with “Latvia” written on the memo line. “Ten years ago, God built a bridge between Sloka Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church and American St. Luke's Oviedo church. And God did more - He gave fellowship in our hands. So our task was to take care and strengthen this fellowship, involving more and more new friends.” -Mara, English Camp Coordinator in Sloka
