Children (ages about 2.5 - 8) are invited to come downstairs to the Park Room for a Godly Play* lesson. The children's time starts at 10:30am in the Park Room and they will come back upstairs and rejoin parents for communion. 

*Godly Play is a beautiful and thoughtful Montessori-informed approach that nurtures children's spirituality as they engage with the stories and sacraments of the church. It was developed by the Rev. Dr. Jerome Berryman, an American Anglican priest.

St. Luke's Hospital is located in Nablus in the West Bank, under the Palestinian Authority. It serves a population of more than 455,000 people, providing life-saving healthcare and operating as a vital maternity hospital for many in the Palestinian community.

Frequent power outages make it difficult to provide consistent, safe medical care. Reliable electricity is essential for neonatal care, oxygen machines, operating rooms, and other critical hospital services.

Bring light to St. Luke's through the gift of the sun.

Alongside Hope is raising funds to install solar panels so the hospital can have a dependable source of electricity. As part of this effort, the Wild Ride campaign is helping to fund 70 solar panels. Each panel costs $865, which includes installation, maintenance, and associated costs.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help provide reliable power for this essential hospital.  If you’d like to support this work, please do so by the end of October 2026 by going to the link below connecting you to the website. You will receive a tax receipt to your email. Thanks to a generous donor, every gift to Light for St. Luke's Wild Ride donations will be matched dollar for dollar.

We are taking on the "Watt's Possible" challenge by walking, cycling, running, embroidering, and using our many talents to support this important project.

Donations can be made online here.
