Join Us 

Friday, October 16 • 5:30PM–9:00 PM | St. Luke’s Episcopal School Gym 

Tickets: $60 per person | $100 per couple | Free Childcare & Valet 

Circle the date and join us as We Gather Together — a glowing fall celebration of community, comfort, and transformation. Each year the St. Luke’s Church community comes together for our one fundraising & fellowship extravaganza that goes towards supporting the church’s ministries and beyond.

As We Gather Together, this year our focus will be to support the Church’s Ministries and the long-needed renovation of the public spaces most frequently used by our congregation and guests – from the Narthex through the main hallway, including the kitchenette and restroom areas. Our goal is to create a more welcoming, accessible, and functional environment for fellowship, hospitality, and ministry.

These sacred spaces have served us well for decades — but they need renewal. With your help, we can make that happen. This is an investment in the present and future of our church home.

What to Expect 

Once again, there is no electronic bidding platform to navigate — our silent auction will be live and on paper, bringing back the joy of friendly competition with fellow parishioners. Dinner will be served promptly, and the evening will wrap up in time for everyone to get home at a reasonable hour. During Paddles Up, we are introducing more accessible giving levels so that everyone can participate, regardless of income. This is a night for everyone at St. Luke’s. 

An Evening of Music, Food, and Fall Festivity 

Join us in the school gym for an evening that is festive but relaxed. 
Suggested Attire: Casual Cocktail — think fall florals, dressy jeans, a favorite autumn dress, or boots and a blazer. No sequins or suits required — just come ready to enjoy a beautiful night with friends. 

You’ll enjoy: 

• A time to gather for fellowship during cocktail hour with tasty hors d’oeuvres, dinner, and seasonal desserts 

• Live music by our Autumn Rhythms Band — Griffin Kissling, Alex Grubbs, and Kevin Frei 

• Gorgeous floral centerpieces handmade by Carol McGanity

• Offerings of Beer, Wine and our beloved prickly pear margaritas, donated by David and Denise Chidgey 

• Live and silent auctions, raffle prizes, and Paddles Up giving
