Fellowship Opportunities

Saint Luke’s Foyer Groups
These fellowship groups are a wonderful opportunity to get to know some of your fellow members of Saint Luke’s in a relaxed, informal setting. Each fall we compile a list of interested persons and arrange those persons into groups of 8-10, each group with a convener. Every effort is made to include both couples and singles in each group as numbers permit. Groups generally meet for shared meals in the homes of the participants, with each person or couple being asked to contribute one course to the meal, or else at a restaurant or other public place. The group’s agenda and style is strictly up to its members. If you’d like to be part of a Saint Luke’s Foyer Group, call Mary Britton (802-6217).

Episcopal Church Women (ECW)
Welcome to Episcopal Church Women! All women of the church are automatic members of ECW, and we are delighted to have you as part of our organization.
ECW meets on first Mondays during the school year for a variety of programs and lunch. We also organize an annual half-day retreat and at least one evening gathering for Saint Luke’s women. Details are always available in the Dialogue and on the church calendar.
Our members enrich the work of the church in many ways. We host church wide receptions in honor of our new confirmands and provide food for receptions at the time of funerals. We help provide a happier Christmas for underprivileged children through the Dove Tree project. We organize and gather the United Thank Offering to support domestic and foreign missions. We provide end-of-the year gifts for the younger Preschool Partners children, to celebrate their accomplishments and encourage reading and creativity throughout the summer months. We raise funds to support various ministries through our Soup Sale, Advent Wreath project, and other efforts. In other words, we have many opportunities for you to be involved in whatever way best suits your interests and schedule.
Please remember that all levels of involvement are appropriate and appreciated. Whether you are able to spearhead a committee or join us for an occasional lunch, we welcome you with open arms and value your participation.
Our Purpose
The mission of Saint Luke’s ECW is to:
- Foster Christian sisterhood among all women of the church and
