Operation Barefoot 2012!

Shoes are being collected.  Stop by St. Luke's if you need a 'foot'!

Thank you to Walgreen's for once again sponsoring shoe drives.

Fifteen members of St. Luke's are signed up and ready to head down over Thanksgiving week to serve the community of La Paz.  Pray for them as they prepare.

If you need more information, email St. Luke's at childrenoflove@stlukes-oviedo.org  or

September Mission Trip

September Trip:

All of the children at the foundation work very hard, go to school, pray several times a day together and need some help.  While I was down there, Mama Doris got her first Social Security check as a retiree and will be able to spend more of her time at the Foundation.  What I found sad was that there are very few sponsors who are giving a regular monthly gift.  Please consider sponsoring one of the children or even giving a one time donation.  The Foundation is a place where any and all of the members of St. Luke’s are welcome to come visit as part of a mission trip or just a personal trip.  The trip for me was cleansing for my soul.  I read my Bible more than I ever have.  I came back to Florida so rich with God’s purpose for my life. The Children of Love Foundation is just waiting for any love and attention that we can give.

I guess it was Pastor Arp’s sermon that got me so involved and passionate.  One Sunday, He said it with such intensity “Just get involved” by participating in more than just church every Sunday.  He said “Try our Bible classes” or “Get involved with our mission trips” or help out with “Trick or Treat” or “From Everywhere to Bethlehem.” “Is it too much to do  to give just a little more for our God, when God has given us the most wonderful gift of all, His Son, Jesus Christ and the gift of eternal life.  Please help the Children of Love Foundation

With much love and hope - please listen to the Word and live out with joy the salvation God has given us as His children.  Thank you.
