Due to the surge in COVID from the omicron variant, there will be no in-person meeting for Spirit Matters in January. Our meeting, Monday, January 17, will be exclusively on Zoom. Please note this change from the previous announcement. We will begin at 7:00 p.m. and our topic will be “Peace.”
Start the New Year with the Men’s Breakfast, Tuesday, January 4 at 8:30 a.m. The pancakes and all the trimmings will be served in Henderson Hall.
As 2021 comes to an end, either on New Year’s Eve or any time, we invite you to use our meditation from 2020 to take time to look to the new year as you listen to music played by Anne Krentz Organ as you view images of St. Luke’s. You may wish to choose readings and reflections that have meaning to you or to use this guide for scripture and reflective reading.
Thursdays at 12:00 p.m. via Zoom, beginning January 6. The focus of the Bible Study would remain the same: a study of the texts for the coming Sunday. Teaching and studying scripture is one of the great joys of Pastor Bouman’s ministry. Epiphany is a great time to grow in God’s Word! If you are need of a zoom invitation link, please contact Pastor Bouman.
If you love to read, you’ll want to join the Page Turners Book Club. They are gearing up for the new year with a brand new book for each month of the year.

Last year, your generosity helped give over 200 kids at RefugeeOne a wonderful Christmas! St. Luke’s is partnering with RefugeeOne again this year. Last year was so successful, that we will be repeating what we did by providing monetary donations to give each child a gift. Our goal is to raise $25 per child; with that level of support, each child will receive a bag full of candy, one small item and a gift card.
