Oktoberfest is Today!
Join us after the 10:30am service for Oktoberfest! From 11:30am – 1pm, enjoy fellowship and a German-inspired menu of brats and homemade German potato salad (with apple dessert, of course!) The inflatable sports center & bounce house will be set up for children, and the nursery will be available until 1:30pm. Donations are not expected, but any freewill offerings will go towards purchasing gifts for December’s Angel Tree.
Casseroles are Coming!
Find Kelly & the St. Luke Youth in the courtyard today to order your take-and-bake youth-made casseroles! Two delicious options are available: baked ziti with sausage (which can also be vegetarian) and chicken enchilada. A large is $25 and a small is $15. Orders will be taken until Nov. 2nd, and payment is due at order. Checks can be made out to St. Luke with “casserole” in the memo. Casseroles must be picked up the weekend of Nov. 16th and will come frozen.
St. Luke MomCo Group Begins Oct. 21!
Motherhood is beautiful, but it can also be overwhelming. We believe no mom should walk alone! Join the MomCo group (previously known as MOPS) every 1st & 3rd Tuesday, beginning Oct. 21st, from 9:30–11:30 AM at St. Luke for a time of faith-filled connection, encouragement, and growth. Each week, we gather to share life, pray together, and relax a little over some free breakfast and coffee. Whether you're a new mom or seasoned parent, you'll find a place to belong, be refreshed, and be reminded of God's purpose for your life. Childcare for ages 1-6yo is provided, and infants are welcome in meetings. For more info, visit our MomCo page or sign up at the info counter to receive info emails.
St. Luke Endowment Banquet at Alessia’s
To help raise awareness of the great things our Endowment Fund is accomplishing, the St. Luke Endowment team is hosting a banquet at Alessia’s Italian Restaurant (Higley & Brown) on November 2nd at 12:00pm. Sign in the lobby today or online to enjoy an excellent Italian lunch while hearing from some of our Endowment Fund grant recipients! RSVP required. Cost: $50 with the note “banquet.”
POWWOW is November 8th!
Come and help serve fresh, local fruits and veggies to our community by signing up to volunteer at Produce on Wheels Without Waste! This is a fun, if early, event that’s great for meeting more St. Luke people while still leaving time in your Saturday. Volunteers help sort and pack up bundles of produce to distribute to cars in the drive-thru line. Volunteers also have the opportunity to get up to 70 lbs. of Arizona produce for just $15!
GriefShare: Surviving the Holidays Oct. 21st
Did you know our church is hosting a one-time seminar for people struggling with grief this holiday season? If Thanksgiving and Christmas are tough for you, attend our Surviving the Holidays event on Tuesday, October 21st, from 12:30-2:30 in the fellowship room. To sign up, click here.
Choir Rehearsals Begin Wednesday
Come sing with us! Rehearsals for 8:00 Chancel Choir begin this Wednesday at 6:30pm.
New Website is Here!
We’re excited to share a new look for the St. Luke website! Back in April, we hosted a town hall-style meeting to get feedback on what you’d like to see prioritized as St. Luke seeks to live out its mission in our community. One of these was a new website with modern SEO features to help people in the community find us. With this new website, we expect a lot more online traffic. We’re still working out some details, though, so thank you for your patience as we fine-tune the site!

Operation Christmas Child
Throughout the month of October, stop by the Worship Center lobby and pick up one or more boxes. Fill the boxes with wish list items and return them to the Worship Center by October 26th! (Make your $10 donation per box online or mail your donation to Samaritan’s Purse using the envelope included in the box.) Samaritan’s Purse now offers a way to track your box! Instructions and wish lists included inside. Be sure to place your labels on the end of the box!
Hope in the Neighborhood
The Stapley Drive revitalization project is almost done!! Drive down Stapley and check out the new landscaping, paint, signage, & artwork if you haven’t already. The long-awaited new AC unit for the Worship Center lobby has also been installed! A huge thank you to everyone who has pledged and donated towards this project!

Welcome Cards
If you are new to St. Luke, fill out a green WELCOME card to let us know you’re here & ask us any questions! These cards are available in the pews, at the offering boxes, and in the lobby. They also have some general information about our church. Fill one out and drop it off in one of the wooden offering boxes located on the back wall behind the pews.
Offering Boxes at St. Luke
If you’ve been looking for the offering plate, don’t worry! You can still give on Sunday mornings by using the wooden boxes attached to the walls at the back of the sanctuary (behind the pews) next to each entry door. There are envelopes at each one, too. We also have online giving, which you can set up to give monthly, weekly, or yearly!
Do You Watch or Listen Online?
If you're traveling this summer or simply watching from home, did you know you can check into worship and watch online with the St. Luke Mesa app? Checking in requires a one-time account registration, after which, it's only a couple of clicks to check in. By checking in when you watch an online service, you help us get an accurate picture of how useful our online services & podcasts are! You can also use the app to request prayer, start a Bible reading plan, or set up recurring online giving!
Don’t Forget to Check In!
Checking in on an iPad in the lobby or through the St. Luke’s app or website helps us in all kinds of ways! We use it to record attendance numbers, to keep you up to date with communications, and to know when you’ve been here and when you haven’t – just in case we don’t get to say hi in person one weekend. It’s also easy! The app requires a one-time registration, and as long as we have a phone number on file for you, you can check in on any iPad at church. You can also check in on the app when you watch online services, no matter where you are! Contact the office (480-969-4414) if you need any help or have questions!
Weekly Prayers
Every Friday, the office sends out an email with all the prayer requests that have been submitted during the week. Reach out to the office to receive this email and help pray for St. Luke members in need!
Lost and Found
Have you misplaced something? Maybe it’s here with us! Call the office at 480-969-4414 or email us to let us know what you’re missing!
Hearing-Assistance System
We have a new hearing-assistance system that works with an app or a belt pack to aid people in hearing our services. Ask about it in the sound booth.
