Celebrating an anniversary this week
17- Phillip & Lily Lee 6 yrs.
As we are moving through the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus teaches with a wisdom only God can have and proves beyond a doubt that He is the Son of God by performing miracles. Don’t miss this powerful encounter with Jesus in this sermon series.
Today / Get Out of the Boat - Jesus agrees to Peters request to get out of the boat and walk on the water. It reveals a lot about Peter and Jesus!
August 20 / The Crumbs are Plenty – The Canaanite woman has faith that Jesus can heal her daughter. From Jesus’ abundance, it’s just crumbs falling form the table.
FEED MY PEOPLE MANNA MARCH: On Sunday, September 10, Feed My People will be holding its annual “Manna March” at Jefferson Barracks Park, General Atkinson Shelter from 1:00 – 3:00 pm. The money raised from this march goes to feeding the hungry and disadvantaged in our area. For a $25.00 donation, you will receive a T-shirt to wear at the march.
I would like at least 10 walkers to represent St. Lucas Church in this year’s march. If you are interested but cannot march, you can sponsor one of the walkers.
Please contact me at 314-550-0897 to let me know if you would be willing to join me. I will provide a registration form for you to complete.
