“Simon, son of John, do you love me
more than these? … Follow me.”
John 21:16,19
Jesus instructed Peter to lead the
Church, and Jesus also tells Peter
about the high price he would have to
pay. Good stewards recognize that to
follow Jesus is a difficult journey
requiring great sacrifice. They also
know that Jesus will be with them
through their joys and sorrows along
the way.

Our annual WaterStep Campaign is under way. This is a great
way we can share what we have with those less fortunate. The
shoes will be sent to the WaterStep Facility where they will be
sold to exporters and delivered to people in poverty stricken
countries. The money WaterStep gets from exporters is used for
mission trips to build wells and water filtering equipment for
those in need. All baby shoes will be donated to Little Way and
other pregnancy centers to serve our community as well.
St. Luke Men’s Club is looking for new members. Come join
them on the 3rd Friday of every month for food, fun, fellowship.
