been placing a regular order, you may call Ron Bacon at

419-535-6765. He will place the order and get it to church

for you to pick up using same arrangement as above.

FACE MASK REQUEST Do you sew? Would you be willing

to sew some masks for our Cindy’s Corner workers and

anyone else who has a need for them? There are several

ideas, videos and patterns on YouTube with plenty of in-

structions. If this is something you can help with, please

call Pastor for a time you can deliver them to the church.

We have a box inside the door where you can leave any

donations. We will come pick them up. If you need masks

for your family, please let us know and we will share with

you.

CINDY'S CORNER CAFE AT DOOR LUNCH SERVICE

MONDAY-SATURDAY NOON-1PM We welcome donations

to assist with the at door lunch program: monetary dona-

tions, plastic grocery bags, Ziploc sandwich bags, big bags

of fresh fruit (apples, oranges, etc.), small (to fit in a brown

bag) bags of chips, pretzels, etc., individual drinks (water,

juice, pop). If you donate such items you may call the

church and drop them off during office hours (10am-1pm).

church is not available at this time. You may also drop your

off offering when pastor is there during the

the office to let us know you are coming 419-243-

to drop your offering inside the door, then we'll

come down and get it. Thanks to the many who

have mailed, dropped off or made electronic

offerings through our PayPal button on our

website: www.stlucastoledo.org.

135th ANNIVERSARY COMMITTEE 2021 will

mark the 135th anniversary of the founding of St.

Lucas. We are putting together a committee to plan events

marking this blessed event. So far, Sharon Stofan and

Dave Jerman have volunteered to sit on the committee.

We need more servants. Please let us know by calling the

church office 419-243-8189 or emailing Pastor Billmeier to

let us know you will serve to plan for our 135th.

ALUMINUM CAN COLLECTION PROGRAM TERMINATED

Due to diminishing returns and space concerns we will no

longer be collecting aluminum cans as a fundraiser.

Thanks to all who have supported this effort over the years.

We do encourage you to continue to recycle your aluminum

cans, however, out of respect for the environment we all

share.

LUTHERAN SOCIAL SERVICES OF NW OHIO will conduct

a drive-thru pantry to address safety concerns and encour-

age social distancing to those needing groceries. Clients

You do not need a Facebook account to bring up

our page online and view services. Facebook may

ask you to create an account, but you can say no.

HOLY COMMUNION PROCEDURE At each weekend

service you will be given the opportunity to

receive the Sacrament. After the prayers,

peace and offering we will sign off and post

the first part of the service on Facebook.

Then we will sign back on live and proceed

with the Communion liturgy. You will need to

sign back on as well. We will not post the

Communion portion of the service, so that the

consecration will be live only. You are invited

to have a small amount of bread and a small

amount of wine (enough to consume at once)

prepared for the consecration. Bread only suffices if

you don’t wish to receive the wine. Please do not sub-

stitute anything for the bread and wine. Jesus promised

to be present in bread and wine, not any substitute. We

take him at his word and receive by faith.

attendance

Sat. May 2 Sun. May 3

Please pray that God blesses our current online attendance by making us a congregation of

evangelists.

No firm date for restart has been estab-

lished as yet.

Gary have been faithful friends of St. Lucas

for many years. May our Lord grant hope

and peace in the resurrection to Lanny.

We prayed for Lori’s family last Sunday, but

did not report this in the Parish News:

We offer sympathy and prayers for

Lori Bowles and family at the death of

her cousin Tony Hubbard from cancer.

May he rest in peace.

We offer our sympathy and prayers for

Ron & Peggy Ramm and family at the sud-

den death at age 39 of their son, Keith, at

home on May 1. A private service in accord

with coronavirus protocols was held on May

7. May resurrection hope and the pres-

ence of Jesus comfort them. We have had

requests for the Ramm’s address to send

cards: 2520 Foraker, Toledo, OH 43609

We offer sympathy & prayers for Deb

LaJeunesse, who sings in the St. Lucas

choir, at the death of her mother on May 2.

May resurrection hope sustain Deb and her

family.

Soli Deo Gloria!
