The Fellowship Breakfasts at St. Luke’s are held three times a year highlighting larger issues of interest to the St. Margaret’s Bay community. All are welcome, there is no cost (though donations are gratefully accepted) and a delicious and hearty breakfast is served at 8:30 am. sharp.

St. Luke’s is no stranger to the mental health field having sponsored several community fourms on the topic, including inviting a Laing House participant to give the Mother’s Day sermon in 2010. “St. Luke’s is a community-minded congregation and we are anxious to explore the healing possibilities and connections between spirituality and mental health, not only within our own church family but also with the larger Bay community. It is what we do best”, said Kevin Little, Minister at St. Luke’s United Church.
