There will also be a section dedicated to Memorials (name only) for $5. All Boards, Auxiliaries and Clubs are asked to purchase a full page ad. Ads for the yearbook are due May 31, 2020.  Payments for ads can be dropped off or mailed to the church or made via Givelify.  Ad content can be included with payment or sent to Nina Sibley-Richardson by email to numberonetruth@hotmail.com or text to 217-693-1151. So think about who you want to recognize and praise God for the amazing year we've had at St. Luke!
