St. Luke’s bazaar carries on By JENNifER CoRR jcorr@liherald.com
Despite the corornavirus pandemic, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church will hold its annual Fall Bazaar for the 29th year, with a handful of changes to ensure the safety of volunteers and attendees. “The first thing we did is realize that it was going to be a different year,” Jesse Lebus, the St. Luke’s rector, said. “We knew the chances of us being able to gath-
