My Peace I Leave With You
Beloved in Christ. We all have moments which are beyond words, especially when tragedy happens, when loved ones die. Our extended family is experiencing such a moment as we heard of the death of my nephew Peter this morning.
Summer Worship
Summer is coming, but church doesn’t stop! Memorial Day through Labor Day we move to one service at 10 a.m. “Second Sundays at St. Luke’s” planning is underway with an outdoor service (weather permitting) and a variety of other activities during the summer.
Garden Walk
Join the St. Luke’s Green Team for a garden walk and seed planting activity on Sunday, June 5 after the 10 a.m. service.
Listening to You
It should come as no surprise our listening season revealed a very diverse congregation with a multiplicity of viewpoints, needs, hopes, fears, and dreams. How our church will emerge from the pandemic was a repeated context in our conversations, spoken with both hope and fear. We were able to discern seven major themes, each of the themes holding a continuum of responses in what we believe is a dynamic tension.
Are You a Giver?
A number of years ago, I was at a leadership conference and the keynote speaker started with this question, “Are you a giver?” As the crowd took a collective sigh of exhaustion, the speaker again asked, “Are you a giver? I mean, a joyful giver?” He then began to unpack the statement.
Old Man and Scorpion
When I am conversation with friends and family and many of you at St Luke’s I hear from you a weariness and a kind of spiritual tiredness as we, in fits and starts, come out of this pandemic. But it is about more that the pandemic. We are tired of this graceless public square in which we live, where there are so many lies paraded as vehement truth, such hostile daily encounters, such divisive politics, and so many echo chambers as we get our news and opinions. It is soul crushing and we are tired of it.
