Ways to Serve
Serve at St. Luke UMC
Hospitality Team - At St. Luke UMC, we value hospitality. We believe that we welcome others because Jesus welcomes us. If you are interested helping welcome people during church events, create table scapes, or host our Sunday morning fellowship time, then please contact the church office.
Ushers - Ushers participate in worship services at St. Luke UMC. They welcome people into the space, hand out orders of worship, take up the offering, and guide people to the altar during Holy Communion. If you are interested in being an usher, then please contact the church office.
Greeters - Greeters are present on campus on Sunday mornings and during other St. Luke UMC events. We have greeters at the entrance of each door to welcome people as the come in, and answer any questions that might arise. Our greets help show guests where to go and introduce themselves. If you can smile, then you can be a greeter. Please contact the church office for more information.
Congregational Care - St. Luke UMC congregational care ministry has a number of different ways to get involved. We have a homebound ministry, a grief response team, and so much more. Life is hard, and St. Luke UMC wants to know that you are not alone during the joys or heartbreaks. For more information on how to get involved, please contact the church office.
Children’s Ministry - We have a growing Children’s Ministry at St. Luke UMC, and they are looking for volunteers! Each Sunday during the Sunday school hour, our children’s ministry meets. They also have a number of fun events throughout the year. If you are interested in helping volunteer with the Children’s ministry, then please contact the church office.
Serve in the Community
St. Luke Food Pantry - The St. Luke Food pantry is one of the largest in Mississippi, serving 550-600 family every Thursday. Boxes of food are provided to residents of Lee county once a month at no cost. Our food pantry is located 2653 S. Eason Blvd, Tupelo, MS 38804. For more information on how to get involved, call 662.687.4500.
Meals on Wheels - St. Luke UMC is partnered with Meals on Wheels. Meals on Wheels operates in virtually every community in America to address senior hunger and isolation. Our volunteers go on Wednesdays at 10:45 AM each week, and they serve about a dozen families. This is both a food ministry and a ministry of presence. If you are interested in volunteering with Meals on Wheels, then please contact the church office.
Women of Worship - Our women’s ministry here at St. Luke UMC are committed to service to our local community. They volunteer and give resources to a variety of community agencies. If you are interested in learning more about the Women of Worship, then please contact the church office.
