Organ Presentation after Today’s 8:00 Worship
Stick around after 8:00 worship on Sunday! Dr. Craig Westendorf will treat us to a patriotic piece for Independence Day. We’re incredibly blessed to have Dr. Craig as our 8am organist – if you don’t normally get to hear him play, you don’t want to miss it!

CPR Teams
Thanks for joining us for the CarePortal lunch! We hope you enjoyed hearing directly from the families you've helped over the last seven years and learning about the new CPR teams! These teams will help us walk alongside our CarePortal families, providing them support in more than just a material way. If you would like more info on the new CPR teams, please let us know at the info counter!

Women’s Summer Bible Study – July 10
Ladies, join us for a summer Bible study on the Philippians! We’ll meet on Thursday at 10am in the Fellowship Room from July 10th to September 11th. Childcare will be available!

Unfinished Projects Day - July 12
The Women’s Ministry is hosting an “Unfinished Projects” day! Bring that project or craft that you just can’t seem to get around to finishing to the Fellowship Room on July 12th at 10am and finally get it done! We’ll also have some fun projects available to work on, including crocheting tote purses and rock painting for our November “Walk-Pray-Rock.” The SHP fleece blankets project will also continue, so feel free to bring in fleece, yarn, or stuffed animals!

 July Community Corner: Twin Sheets
For July, we’re seeking twin sheet donations for Sleep in Heavenly Peace! SHP provides beds to kids in need at no cost to families. All they have to do is fill out a form, no questions asked. Please note the sheets must be twin-sized to fit the pre-made beds! Donations can be placed in the lobby cubbies. (No pillows needed!)

Summer Sunday School
Sunday school is in summer mode at 9:30! 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!

Hope in the Neighborhood Update
This week, you’ll notice lots of grey coating as we prepare to install a modernized, heat-resistant stucco called EIFS. Some paint prep has also begun. Please note that any north-facing exit doors (rehearsal room, bathroom hallway) are still not useable. A huge thank you to everyone who has pledged and donated towards this project! We can’t wait to finally reflect the vibrant community inside St. Luke’s walls to our neighbors!

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!

2025 Youth Gathering
The Youth Gathering is SO CLOSE and the youth are so appreciative of your prayers and donations to their fundraisers over the last year. If you donated to the envelope wall, check your mail! Gathering youth will be sending postcards and updates during their trip. Please continue to pray for safe travels on July 18th and that this event full of worship and service brings them closer to their Savior and each other!

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.
