OUTREACH COMMITTEE

THERE’S A RAINBOW IN OUR FUTURE!

June 28th – July 2nd

During the week of June 28th – July 2nd we will once again be helping with the St. Barnabas Ministries’ “Rainbow in the City” program. This is a Christian day camp for inner-city children. Rainbow camp is held at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church on North Seneca Street in Harrisburg. We will prepare and serve breakfast and lunch to 50 campers and their counselors for the week. Many of you are familiar with this program – some of you have helped in the past, and some have asked just how you can contribute to its success. Below are some ways in which St. Luke’s parishioners can become involved.

• Volunteer to go to St. Paul’s and help with food preparation and serving. We will need 2-3 people for each meal. See sign-up sheet on the bulletin board.

• Contribute food and paper items. Please see quantities needed and sign-up sheet on the bulletin board.

• Monetary contributions: Checks may be made out to “St.Luke’s Outreach Committee” with notation for “Rainbow”.

Watch for sign-up sheets in the Narthex – Please note return date for donated items. All donations should be marked “Rainbow” and placed in the blue tub in the undercroft.

This has been an extremely successful ministry in the past and we thank all of you for your interest, participation and continued support!
