Collect from Sunday, August 28 | |
|
Dear Lord,
We pray for a different world. One that covets peace and where kindness and consideration enable all to truly coexist. Help us live according to Thy Will, with strength in faith, love-filled courage, a penchant for humility, and unending grace. Grant that we, in the midst of growing strife and injustice within humanity, serve as beacons of fellowship and unity, illuminating the hearts of our community with benevolence and kindred spirit; reminding all that no matter how diverse our world is, it is through love that we can become one. For we are all children, branches of Thy vine; in the steps of Jesus, whose walk and teachings have shown the way, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
| As you may know, York and Elizabeth Wong have been writing weekly Collects for St. Luke’s Episcopal Church since the beginning of the pandemic, in March 2020. We're reprinting them because they are worth re-reading. | | | |

One of Bishop Megan’s priorities is Continuing Education for both our clergy and lay leaders. To that end, Bishop Megan in partnership with ASU, brought a non-profit training course, Best Skills, Best Churches program, to our diocese encouraging church staff, volunteers, and parishioners
to take this course.
The next course “year” is 2022-2023
and starts next month on
September 23, 2022.

OUR HISTORY
Earlier this year, St. Luke's Episcopal Church celebrated the 75th anniversary of the building of the church. But the congregation is much older than that, having first gathered in June 1917 for an Episcopal service in Calistoga.
