We are giving thanks for the life of Sue Wagner who passed away on June 11, 2026.

St. Luke's Hospital in Nablus is a beacon of hope, providing life-saving care and serving as a crucial maternity hospital. St Luke's serves a population of 455,000 people, but daily power outages make safe care difficult.

The solution: bring light to St. Luke's - through the gift of the sun.

Alongside Hope is raising funds for solar panels, and the Wild Ride aims to fund 70 of them. One panel costs $865 (which includes installation, maintenance and other costs.) We want to raise $2000. Donations can be made here or by scanning the QR code on the poster above. 

We are taking on the “Watt’s Possible” challenge by: walking, cycling, running, embroidering and bringing all our talents to the fore!

Every dollar helps power neonatal care, oxygen machines, and essential services. Thanks to a generous donor, every gift to Light for St. Luke’s — including Wild Ride donations — will be matched dollar for dollar.

There's also a walk on August 29th at 10 a.m. that some members of the committee are doing. More information will be provided at coffee time after the 10:30 a.m. service on Sundays.
