Gemma Student Trip

Students age 12+ are going to Gemma Services to play games and lead activities with children! Many of the children at Gemma Services have been through significant trauma. Being able to have positive experiences with big kids and adults from a local church shows them that people and God care. We will meet at Saint Luke at 12:15 and return by 4:00pm. Activities with the children will occur from 1-2:30pm. On our way back to church, we will stop for frozen yogurt to discuss the experience and spend time together. Adult volunteers are also needed.

Welcome Church Service Trip

The Welcome Church is an ELCA church without walls proclaiming the hope and love of a gracious God to all people, especially to people experiencing homelessness in Philadelphia. Volunteers are invited to participate in a brief outdoor worship service together, as well as serve drinks and snacks. We are also collecting donations of individually wrapped snacks and bottled drinks to serve, socks (large and small sizes), blankets (new or gently used), and plastic bags or reusable grocery bags. It is a meaningful experience to intentionally include all of God's children in worship, especially those often excluded! We will carpool together from Saint Luke.
