Stewardship & Giving

Stewardship 2025: Walk in Love

Walk In Love color

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, and walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.  Ephesians 5: 1-2, NRSV

This year, our stewardship theme invites us to journey together in faith, unity, and purpose. Inspired by Ephesians 5:1-2, we are called to imitate God's love in our lives and our community. As we navigate our path forward, including our ongoing process of conflict transformation, walking in love reminds us that our faith journey is not solitary but shared. It challenges us to align our actions with our values, to support one another in times of need, and to be open to the transformative power of God's love. Through our stewardship, we have the opportunity to tangibly express this love - whether through our time, talents, or resources.

Planned Giving

Estate planning, tax issues, and other end-of-life decisions seem so daunting to so many people that fully 60 percent of Americans die without making a will. We are constantly reminded that each of us needs to plan for our future well-being, and for our heirs.

To help parishioners of Saint Luke’s navigate these complicated issues, our Stewardship Committee has prepared this introductory explanation, intended to provide you with some basic information on Wills, Trusts, and other estate planning tools with St. Luke’s in mind, if that is your desire.

At St. Luke's there are financial planners who would be happy to meet with you personally or at least provide you with a framework to consider planned giving. Please contact our office at (207) 772-5434 or email our office administrator for a referral, all in strict confidence. Thank you.
