The second week will focus on Health screening, checkups, health education, and helping at the PolyClinic and home visits to the community of San Mateo. Construction and working with the students will also be available.
This is a St. Luke's Mission Trip and these folks represent the whole parish so please watch for your opportunity to help support this trip with your prayers, donations of supplies and support of upcoming fundraisers!
Outreach at St. Luke's
St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Durham NC has always considered serving others to be an essential part of who we are as a church. In following Jesus' words and example, we find fellowship with each other and with those we serve. Our parish practices Outreach in two complementary ways: through direct, hands-on involvement of our members, and through financial support of selected programs and agencies both in Durham and throughout the world. Whether we are hammering nails at a Habitat house, making a casserole for the Soup Kitchen, or participating in one of our Outreach fundraisers, Outreach is an integral part of living our faith at St. Luke's. Read these stories and then come and join us as we "go in peace to love and serve the Lord."
