THE WAY OF THE CROSS: JESUS AND THE DEAD MAN As Jesus draws near the time of his own death on the cross he points us beyond the pain and sorrow of death to the power of the resurrection. Jesus restores life where death reigns and opens the way to eternal life that begins right here and right now. The Way of the Cross is the destruction of death and its power over us now and forever.

BENEVOLENCE FUND The St. Luke’s Benevolence Fund has a long history of helping people in need. In the last three years, this fund has given out more than $270,000! Recipients include: single parents, widows and widowers, people impacted by cancer, covid or other medical issues. We have helped with utility bills, rent payments, car repairs and more. Part of our benevolence assistance helps connect people in need with other resources for additional help. Every dollar of benevolence assistance has been given outside of our church budget! We are grateful for those of you who make gifts to this community impact fund. Currently, our benevolence fund is low on funds. If you feel led to give, please make a gift today. Envelopes are available at the entrance or donate online at sllcs.org/give

TRANSFER THE BLESSINGS One of your grandchildren has a special health condition. Is it right to apply more gifts to their situation out of your estate gift plan to address those needs going forward, long after the Lord has called you home? Yes, it is!  If you struggle with this topic, you are still being bound by estate gifts as entitlement instead of grace. Our Transfer the Blessings ministry director can help you answer your estate plan questions in person or by video conference. Contact Doug Taylor, at 407-365-3408 or dtaylor@sllcs.org.

MITES SUNDAY Sunday, April 2, is your next opportunity to bring in your mites. Your spare change in your LWML mite box goes to mission projects throughout our district and the world, including $30,000 in scholarship grants for Pastoral and Church Worker students in Florida and Georgia. Each month, we’ll share information about where your mites are helping. Just look for the large box on display in the Narthex and in the Founders’ Hall entrance area.
