Thanksgiving Basket Project

What’s the best way to give thanks for the blessings God has given us? Sharing our blessings with others who are in need!

Every year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, St. Luke’s works together with other local congregations in a joint effort as we purchase, pack, and personally deliver Thanksgiving Meals to families in need in our area. Our packing and delivery takes place after our ecumenical Thanksgiving Worship Service. This year, five Summerville Churches are joining together to deliver 250 Thanksgiving Baskets to folks in need in our community:

St. Luke’s Lutheran Church
Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd
Summerville Presbyterian
Summerville Baptist
Murray United Methodist

Here’s how you can help:

Donate: Each basket is $40, but you can give any amount with your offering. Please make sure you mark on your envelope or check: 2020 Thanksgiving Basket Project. We need your donation by November 15th.

Deliver: We are in need of drivers willing to deliver 5-7 baskets with no contact. All you have to do is ring the bell, and leave the basket at the door. Maps will be provided, and all drivers will leave from Summerville Baptist Church after we share a Scripture and Blessing at 10AM together outside in the Parking Lot on Saturday, November 21st.

Worship Times

Sunday Services of Holy Communion are held at 8:30AM in our Sanctuary. Drive-In Sunday Services of Holy Communion are held at 10:30AM in our Parking Lot. All participants are asked to register if they wish to attend a service, since we have a limited number of parking spaces and pew spaces as we continue to practice social-distancing. All who attend the indoor service are asked to wear a facemask.
