Purim Celebration

Purim is a joyful Jewish festival that celebrates courage, hope, and the triumph of light over darkness, rooted in the ancient story of Queen Esther. Through storytelling, costumes, food, and laughter, Purim invites communities to remember how faith, bravery, and solidarity can change the course of history. At St. Luke’s, we offer this gathering as an opportunity to learn, celebrate, and rejoice together, honoring our shared values of joy, resilience, and care for one another. Children are especially welcome, and costumes are encouraged.

The celebration will include age-appropriate activities, learning how to make hamantaschen and other festive treats, music, and storytelling moments that invite participation from the whole family. Members of the Winged Ox Players will stage the drama with audience participation, bringing the story of Purim to life in a joyful and engaging way.

This event is cultural and educational in nature and is open to everyone, regardless of background or tradition. Come celebrate joy, friendship, and the richness of our wider human family.

Donations of $5-10 suggested to help offset cost of the event. However, money should not be a barrier, and all are welcome to attend regardless of ability to pay.
