Serve in the Church and in the Community

Wednesday Night Fellowship 
Please consider signing up your small group, family, or friends to prepare and serve a meal on a Wednesday night at Gethsemane. Get a glimpse of the kingdom of God as all ages and many languages gather around the table for food and fellowship. Set up is 5-6 pm, dinner is 6-7 pm. 
Sign up or contact Getrida Deleo.

Small Steps Ministries
Support Small Steps by volunteering your time to Small Steps teacher & staff appreciation events throughout the year. This past year we hosted back-to-school breakfasts, brought them to-go holiday dessert boxes, gave out Valentine themed goodie bags, and their favorite... 10-minute chair massages! There is not a traditional PTA to support the schools, so Small Steps Ministries is here to fill in that gap. If you are interested in more information, please email Erin Naman.

Mercy Closet
Volunteers are needed to sort donations, reorganize clothes, and greet visitors at our clothing closert at our Gethsemane campus. To sign up, visit www.stlukesmethodist.org/mercy 
or contact Getrida Deleo. 

Kids Hope Mentoring | Weekly
When children feel loved and valued, they are better able to learn, grow and succeed. Consider working with an at-risk, elementary-aged student during the 2025-2026 school year with Kids Hope USA. Email Marce Pampe. 

The Garden Volunteer Team
We need your help welcoming youth, directing youth to the spaces they are signed up for, answering questions and assisting with special events. If you would like to be on the Garden Volunteer Team, email Mirella Sales. 

Life Celebration Guild
A friendly smile has a lasting impact on those coming to our memorial services and receptions. Volunteers in the Life Celebration Guild greet and offer guidance to guests as needed to ensure they feel welcome. Volunteers serve as their schedule allows, with a flexible time commitment of up to 3 hours per service. For information, contact Karen Smith. 

The Tender Loving Care Team 
The TLC team walks alongside congregation members and neighbors in the community by reaching out over the phone or by writing a personal note. These notes celebrate exciting times and offer care, support, and encouragement during times of difficulty. This can be done from the location and at the time of your choosing. If you have the gift of gab or enjoy writing words of celebration and encouragement for others, we’d love to talk with you about becoming a part of this ministry! 
For information, please contact Katrina Dagher. 

Hospitality Team 
Are you interested in serving as a Sunday morning greeter, helping with refreshments in the
Gathering Room, or assisting in worship as an usher? The Hospitality Team may be just the
serving opportunity you’ve been looking for and we’re ready for you to join! 
Contact Sarah Butler.

Serve in Worship
Are you interested in serving communion or have a child interested in being an acolyte? We're seeking communion servers every Sunday at the weekly 8:30 service and throughout the year for special services. Communion is also served in the contemporary service on the first Sunday of the month. In addition, sign your 6th-12th grade child up to acolyte - not only do they get to be a part of worship, but they also get to play with fire!
