What’s happening this week?

In Our Worship

I’m excited and honored to report that the National Lutheran Choir will be singing one of my pieces, “The Healing of the Nations,” at their annual Christmas festival in Minneapolis this December.

FROM THE PASTOR

November Daily Prayer

As we enter November, the spirit of All Saints’ Day invites us to reflect on the saints who have shaped our lives. This month, consider embracing a simple but profound prayer practice: daily gratitude for those who have touched your journey, now departed yet enduring in their influence. Each day, you’ll be guided to remember someone specific—a mentor, a friend, a family member, or even a challenging figure—who has left a mark on your soul. Let this practice deepen your appreciation and connection to these beloved saints, grounding your days in gratitude and remembrance.

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. See more. . .

Faith formation lasts a lifetime!  From two-year olds to adults, all are invited to join in a life long adventure as each of us increases our understanding of Scripture and how it relates to our daily lives.
