FROM THE PASTOR

Confirmation

Dear church,

This Sunday, we will celebrate the Confirmation/Affirmation of Baptism of nine of our young people. In the rite, they will be asked whether they intend to continue in the covenant God made with them in Holy Baptism: to live among God’s faithful people, to hear the word of God and share in the Lord’s Supper, to proclaim the good news in word and deed, to serve all people following the example of Jesus, and to strive for justice and peace in all the earth.

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. . .

There are many opportunities and occasions where you can enjoy making new friends who will soon become old friends. Make your interests known to one of the pastors or the church office and they will put you in touch with a member who shares your interest.

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. There are opportunities for young children on Sunday morning; Middle School kids have classes to prepare for Confirmation on Sunday afternoons. The High School youth have their own room where on Sunday mornings they share their thoughts and concerns with the Youth Forum leaders.  Summer mission trips are often on the agenda. Subscribe to the weekly newsletter and checkout the calendar for other activities for children and youth.  See more. . .

Check the calendar for day and time.
