A Message from Pastor Jenn - October 10, 2024

Be safe, be in prayer for our neighbors across the state, and we will keep you posted on how we as St. Luke's can respond to the urgent needs of our community.

St. Luke's Week in Review

Honoring Hispanic Heritage

Last week in Contemporary worship we celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month with "coritos," which are powerful and joyful songs of praise that have been a cornerstone of worship in Hispanic communities for generations.

Watch the video above and let the rhythms, melodies, and heartfelt words remind us of the beautiful diversity in the body of Christ, as we come together in unity and faith.

Ways to Learn, Live, Love, and Lead

Current sermon series: Beyond the Box

• "Your Week with St. Luke's" Podcast - In this week’s episode, Pastors Jenn, Jad, and Melissa explore John Wesley’s powerful principle of “Do No Harm.” Using the wisdom of Proverbs, they remind us to approach conflict with grace, patience, and love, especially during these divisive times. Now more than ever it's important to seek wisdom and live intentionally, and know that our words can both hurt and heal.
