The Glance

Jesus turned tables over in the temple because God’s house is not a marketplace. He did this because it was excluding people from coming to worship and distracting those that would come. Some people felt like they couldn't come to the temple to worship unless they had money to spend. Jesus wanted people to know that worshipping God is free. God’s love is unconditional. Jesus cleansed the temple to get us ready for the ultimate sacrifice. This is a call for us to do some cleaning of our hearts and homes this Lent.

What are you holding on to that keeps you from worshiping God freely? We can hold onto hurt, grief, bitterness, anger, or material things.

For the month of March, St. Luke’s is collecting gently used or new items to donate to The Green Door Thrift Shop, a ministry of St. Luke’s Church for over 75 years. All proceeds from this ministry benefit nonprofits all over the city. You can bring items to the carpool line or drop off in the Jones Lobby.

We're also collecting used St. Luke's uniforms until the end of the school year. Drop off your gently used uniforms at the front desk for other students to use! The uniform closet is a great resource for our growing students and for days when they need an extra accessory or a quick change of clothes.

Each spring, we celebrate our newest St. Luke’s families by delivering swag bags and yard signs right to their front doors—a small gesture that makes a big impression. This year, we’ll be stuffing approximately 60 welcome bags on Monday, March 23, and delivering them on Tuesday, March 24 and Wednesday, March 25.

We would love your help preparing and delivering these bags so we can welcome our new families in true Hilltop style! If you’re interested in lending a hand, please sign up below. Let’s show them what makes our community so special from day one!

In honor of the Spurs making the playoffs, the Holts have generously donated Spurs x St. Luke’s T-shirts to help our community celebrate in style!

Students will be sent home with their T-shirt the week prior and are invited to wear it to school on Monday, April 13 with jeans or uniform bottoms, plus any fun Spurs accessories.

Let’s show our school spirit and cheer on the Spurs together—Go Spurs Go! 🖤🤍🏀

Once again, St. Luke’s will be placing an ad in the Charity Ball magazine, and we are excited to include members of our community in the photo.

We invite all Charity Ball parents and grandparents to join us for a photo shoot on Monday, March 23 at 8:30 a.m. at St. Luke’s. This is a wonderful opportunity to represent our school and celebrate the many members of our community who are involved with Charity Ball.

Please join us if you are able—we would love to have a strong St. Luke’s presence in this year’s ad and want to be sure that all parents and grandparents affiliated with St. Luke’s are included and invited.

We’re pleased to officially share the 2026–27 school year calendar, including key dates to help your family plan ahead. From the first day of school to holidays, breaks, and special milestones throughout the year, this calendar provides an early look at what’s ahead on the Hilltop.

We encourage families to review the key dates and mark their calendars accordingly, however, please note they are subject to change. Refer to the live link above for the most up-to-date information. We look forward to another incredible year together!

Get ready for a summer packed with imagination, movement, creativity, and discovery all through the month of June! At Summer on the Hilltop, each week brings a brand-new theme and full days of engaging fun. Every day, students will move, create, and learn through age-specific activities designed to keep them active, inspired, and curious.

And new this year—campers can extend the fun by staying after camp for Summer Enrichment! Even more opportunities to explore interests, build skills, and make unforgettable memories.

It’s everything you love about summer… the Hilltop way. 🐯☀️

At St. Luke’s, we believe deeply in the power of prayer and in the strength of lifting one another up in community. Parents, grandparents, students, faculty, and friends of St. Luke’s are invited to share prayer requests through our confidential Prayer Request Form.

When you submit a request, please know that you will be prayed for daily by our Chaplain. These prayers will remain private and will not be shared with the broader community unless you specifically give consent.

As Scripture reminds us:

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
— Philippians 4:6–7

The Prayer Request Form lives in the Chaplain's Word Newsletter for whenever you need it!

We are collecting new or gently used items to support The Green Door, a ministry of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church serving San Antonio since 1953. Proceeds from The Green Door directly fund charitable and humanitarian efforts throughout our city—turning everyday donations into meaningful impact.

• Clothing & shoes (men, women, children, babies)

This Lent, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church continues its partnership with fellow Episcopal parishes across San Antonio for shared Roving Lenten Dinners.

Each Wednesday evening from 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm, SLEC will gather at a different church to share dinner, enjoy conversation, hear reflections from clergy and parishioners, and close the evening by praying Compline together. This year’s theme, “A Journey Through Holy Week,” will explore the unique liturgies that shape the most sacred days of our church year and invite us more deeply into Christ’s passion and resurrection.

These evenings offer a meaningful opportunity to deepen our Lenten practice while building relationships with our wider Episcopal community.

5:30 pm – Dinner & Discussion

• March 18 – St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (1018 Grayson St.)
• March 25 – Resurrection Episcopal Church (5909 Walzem Rd.)

We hope you’ll join us for this shared journey through Lent.
