FROM THE PASTOR

The Mission Table

This coming Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. we begin our intergeneration opportunity for growth in our faith and fellowship.  We gather at 6:00 p.m. for pizza.  Then the children go with Gayle Larson to the library to read together some books which will enrich their spiritual lives. 

We hope that you register your children so that we have an idea of the age range as we select books for them to enjoy together.  You can call or email the office any time before the first session.  if you have not had an opportunity to pre-register, we would still love you to come and share in this experience. 

The adults will join me for a study of my book,  The Mission Table, which, God willing, will increase our scriptural, theological, and practical understanding of the mission we share at St Luke’s.  We plan to have hard copies of the book on Wednesday for all participants.  I am including here a digital copy of the book and ask that you read the Introduction and first three chapters which we hope to cover on Wednesday.  If you can read these brief chapters before Wednesday, we can hit the ground running in our mission conversation.  Here is a copy of The Mission Table. 

Finally, this Sunday at the Adult Forum we begin our participation in the ELCA Social Statement, Civic Life and Faith.  Each session has a video which shares much of the content for discussion.  Here is a link to the first video.  Please listen to this sixteen minute video before Sunday to enhance our conversation together.
