On All Saints Sunday, we remember and give thanks for the saints of every time and place — especially loved ones who have died in the past year.
You are invited to bring photos or mementos of loved ones and other favorite saints to place on the display tables beginning Sunday, October 29. During communion, all are welcome to light candles in remembrance of beloved saints.
Each month, we provide a meal at University Lutheran Church in Philadelphia, extending hospitality and hope to those experiencing food insecurity in the West Philly community—a tradition of care that has spanned decades. Your support is vital to this ministry, and we invite you to help by donating items for the meal. Please bring your donations to the Saint Luke kitchen by noon on the first Tuesday of the month and label them for "Feast Incarnate."
We need the following items:
Large rectangular boxes of salad mix
Bags of shredded carrots
Containers of cherry or grape tomatoes
Cucumbers (whole is fine—they'll be diced at the church)
Cookies, bars, cake, or brownies (store-bought or homemade)
We aim to provide two dessert pieces per person for the 100+ individuals we serve. Thank you for your generosity and support in sharing Christ’s love with our neighbors in need!
