HOW DO I JOIN THE CHURCH?You may become a part of the St. Luke family of God in one of the following ways:1. If you have never joined a church before, you may become a member by profession of faith in Jesus Christ and by being baptized. If you have already been baptized (as a child or as an adult) in a Christian Church, your baptism is recognized by St. Luke United Methodist Church. You will be asked to uphold St. Luke church with your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. 2. If you are a member of another United Methodist Church or another Christian denomination, indicate to one of the pastors that this is your desire. St. Luke will then transfer your membership.3. If you have any questions about faith in Christ, about United Methodism in general or St. Luke in particular, please ask one of the pastors!

There are over 5 million people living with Alzheimer’s disease in the United States, with more than 16.1 million Americans providing unpaid care. It is said that there is no more exhausting or rewarding job than caring for a loved one. Important Tips for Caregivers - • Keeping yourself healthy should be at the top of your list. Eat right, exercise, and get enough sleep. • Make time for yourself each day. Find a way to do things that you enjoy; spend time with friends. • It’s OK to ask for help; you cannot do it all.

Remember that Respite Care is here to help.
