Easter Egg Hunt
Children in preschool to 4th grade are invited to the Easter egg hunt in the Sunday school building! Check in at the canopy in front of the “Children” door (Sunday school lobby). The egg hunt runs from 9:15-10:15 and limits children to 12 eggs each, so children can jump in any time. Baskets are provided!

Easter Breakfast
The St. Luke youth invite you to a hot breakfast starting at 9:30 in the Commons – any donations will go towards Jr. High camp! A continental-style breakfast will also be available in the Commons following the sunrise service.

Due to Easter…
Please note that there will be no Saturday worship the night before Easter. There will also be no adult Bible studies at 9:30am on Easter Sunday. Classes will resume on April 12th. The Monday following Easter, the office will be closed.

Welcome Cards
If you are new to St. Luke, you can 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.

Breakfast With Pastor Luke on April 19th
Want to learn more about St. Luke? Starting April 19th at 9:30am in the Commons, we’ll be serving breakfast for three consecutive Sundays. Each week, we’ll talk about a different aspect of our church. They’re a great way to get to know Pastor Luke, ask any questions you may have, or pursue membership. Our nursery and Sunday School classes are available for children. Please RSVP or sign up at the info center.

New Bible Study Begins April 12th
Join Steve Hines in the Fellowship Room beginning April 12th at 9:30am as we dive into 2 Peter and Jude, finding strength and courage to remain faithful to God’s calling for our lives.

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!

St. Luke App
Did you know? St. Luke has an app! It’s a great way to find upcoming events, volunteer, send in a prayer request, and check into worship or a Bible study! Search “St. Luke Mesa” in your app store to download.

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 the iPad just needs a phone number on file with the church office.

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.
