Ministries & Activities
EYC
An opportunity for fellowship, relaxing, and fun, EYC meets weekly during the school year in addition to campouts, participation in Happening, summer trips, and more! EYC offers a more laidback atmosphere for youth to build meaningful and lasting friendships. This time is less focused on structured learning and more devoted to community building, self-expression, impactful service, and seeking to understand the ever-changing and messy world around us. Please note that locations and times may change depending on the nature of our activities; contact Amzie Williams (awilliams@gracestlukes.org) to keep updated on all things EYC.
Outreach
Food Pantry: Grace-St. Luke’s partners with Church Health to furnish healthy Mediterranean Diet meals to those who need meals. For the time being, instead of participants coming to GSL to pick up food bags, Church Health will pick up bags to distribute.
More Than A Meal: Every Sunday, Grace-St. Luke’s More Than A Meal invites the homeless and hungry to dine in our parish hall with parishioners and other members of the community.
To volunteer for the Food Pantry or More Than A Meal, visit https://www.gracestlukes.org/connect/in-the-neighborhood-and-beyond/outreach-pages/volunteer.
