CarePortal Luncheon - June 22
It's been almost seven years since St. Luke first began working with CarePortal, the nonprofit that helps match families in need with churches who can provide immediate, tangle support for their children involved in the foster system. This amazing organization helps keep families together while allowing churches to truly be the hands and feet of Jesus. Please join us on June 22nd in the Oasis after worship for a free lunch, hear from families who have been impacted by St. Luke through CarePortal, and learn about this unique way to live out our faith right here in our community! Staffed nursery & children's movie room available!
APPS Special Presentation - Today at 11:45
We are pleased to have David Sax from Cypress Home Care Solutions join us at 11:45 in the Fellowship Room to provide information on options for home health care and answer any questions. Cypress has been empowering seniors to thrive at home with compassionate care for over 30 years. Their reliable caregivers provide personalized senior care through a wide range of home care services, allowing your aging family members to live safely and independently in their own home. This is open to everyone, so invite a friend to join us on June 8th and learn about different home care options. If you have any questions or would like more information please contact Paul Hoffmann.
Father's Day - Next Sunday!
Father's Day is next Sunday! Join us for a children's message during worship and a custom St. Luke gift for dads available in the lobby!
Hope in the Neighborhood Update
This weekend, St. Luke looks fully "under construction" as scaffolding wraps around the north side of the church. Please note that any north-facing exit doors (rehearsal room, bathroom hallway) will not be useable. A huge thank you to everyone who has pledged and donated towards this project! Remember to make a note on any donations meant for your pledge. We can’t wait to finally reflect the vibrant community inside St. Luke’s walls to our neighbors!

Summer Sunday School
Summer Sunday school is at 9:30 with new classrooms! If your child is starting Preschool – Kinder next year, they’ll be in room 409. New 1st-4th graders will be in room 402. New 5th graders will be moving up to join the middle school group in 406!
June Community Corner: School Supplies & Shoes
The Learning Foundation charter school has rented classroom space from St. Luke for the last several years, and we’re excited to team up again to ensure their students start the year off right! Most of their students come from low-income families who struggle to provide necessities for creating a productive educational experience. Find a list of the school supplies requested, including shoes, at the info counter this weekend. (Please note that shoes can be brought in anytime throughout the school year for Learning Foundations’ shoe closet.) If you prefer to let us do the shopping, just designate “school supplies” on your contribution!
Choices Pregnancy Center Request!
Choices Pregnancy Center has emailed several churches in the area with a time-sensitive request for baby clothes! They are almost out of shorts, t-shirts, light sleepwear for summer, dresses, and rompers in sizes newborn to 12 months. Please bring in your new or gently used donations to the Community Cubbies!
2025 Endowment Grant Awards & Legacy Tree
Did you see the tree in the lobby? 2025 Endowment Fund grants have been announced! Thanks to many donations both from legacy giving and donations in memoriam, we're blessed to be able to distribute the Endowment Fund's generated interest in the form of grants. This year, we are distributing a total of $8,000 towards nonprofit & church improvement grants and a scholarship. The awardees this year are: ASU Campus Mission Coalition to help send international students to Camp Aloma, St. Luke Bridge Builder for Bibles and a hydraulic cart, & Vicar Ethan Berglund as he continues his pastoral education.

Google Reviews for St. Luke
If you attended April’s 3-year planning meetings, you already know St. Luke is looking to help those seeking a church home, questioning their faith, or looking for a next spiritual step to find a place they can worship and belong. If you’ve enjoyed your time at St. Luke, please consider leaving a Google Review. These reviews help our church pop up on internet searches, and your story helps us tell His!

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 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!
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.
