St. Luke’s has launched the Re-membering Ministry to support members grieving the loss of a loved one. Trained volunteers—Re-membering Ministers—will offer compassionate presence through listening, visits, or conversation starting June 8th. This ministry helps individuals heal by sharing memories and rebuilding life after loss. If you have questions about this ministry, please reach out to Pastor Kyle Severson, John Schumacher, or Diane Barounis.
Spirit Matters now meets twice a month on the First and Third Wednesdays from 3:30 – 5 pm. June meetings will be: June 4 and 18.
Spirit Matters offers an opportunity to explore Lectio Divina, which is a personal way to encounter God through scripture, and Centering Prayer, in which we quiet our minds and open our hearts to God’s loving presence. Come join us for spiritual rest and refreshment. Your spirit matters! All are welcome. If you have any questions, contact Diane Barounis.

Each Sunday during the season of Easter (at least when we don’t have a baptism!, we join our voices with Christians across centuries and continents in confessing the Nicene Creed. This ancient summary of faith, from 1700 years ago this year, grounds us in the core beliefs passed down from the early Church: the Triune God, the incarnation of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. But if you’ve listened closely, you may have noticed a small but important difference in the version of the Creed we use in worship. We now say that the Holy Spirit “proceeds from the Father,” rather than “from the Father and the Son.”
