Bishop Overs Guild, affectionately known as BOG, is a social group of St Luke’s women who meet on the second Tuesday of each month from 5:30 – 7:00pm for a pot luck supper, and to discuss ways we can foster our mission to feed people.
We feed people in many ways, including providing refreshments at undercroft receptions, at our monthly pot luck suppers, through our fundraising efforts, and with monetary gifts.
Our fundraising efforts are supported by bakers and volunteers from our St. Luke’s family. We thank you so much for your support and hope you will join us for dinner. We always say grace, welcome newcomers and enjoy a casual dinner meeting.
