What’s happening this week?

In Our Worship

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (Jan. 18-25), sponsored by the World Council of Churches, https://www.oikoumene.org/  invites us to enter more deeply into the faith that unites all Christians. Christ, our peace, you break down the walls that divide us. Christ, our peace, come make us one body in you

FROM THE PASTOR

Epiphany Home Blessing

Twelfth Night (January 5) or another day during the season of Epiphany offers an occasion for gathering with friends and family members for a blessing of the home, using the following as a model. Someone may lead the greeting and blessing, while another person may read the scripture passage.

Following an eastern European tradition, a visual blessing may be inscribed with white chalk above the main door; for example, 20 + CMB + 15. The numbers change with each new year. The three letters stand for either the ancient Latin blessing Christe mansionem benedica, which means, “Christ, bless this house,” or the legendary names of the magi (Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar).

Learn about St. Luke’s

We understand the Christian as both saint and sinner.  We confess that we are “by nature sinful and unclean and cannot free ourselves”. The Word and Sacraments are seen as gifts of God that renew and forgive us on our faith journey and continue to empower us to do the work of Christ in the world. See more. . .

No matter your age or gender, our liturgical form of worship invites you to participate in the worship of our Lord and Savior.  Join in song and prayer.  Those baptized Christians who trust in our Lord’s promise to be truly present as the body and blood in the forms of bread and wine are welcome to receive Holy Communion.
