Our Flea Market is one of the few fundraisers St. Luke's has throughout the year. Contribution from everyone is necessary in order to make this event successful. We appreciate anything you can do to help with this event. Although we are trying to raise funds for our church, remember that one of the things that makes St. Luke's such a special church is its charity. If you encounter an individual that is in need, please offer to give them any of the items they wish to have for free. God will always let you know what is best, so use your best judgment. We thank you for your support.
