Thank you to our many helpers who got our church ready to decorate for VBS! We accomplished so much and the church building and grounds look beautiful!

The Plumbline of God’s Justice- Seventh Sunday after Pentecost

Caroline Furnace Performing Arts Camp coming to a Church near you!

Campers and staff from Caroline Furnace will be presenting God is in Control (by Dan and Nan Allen) at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church on July 14 at 7:00 pm.  The musical, complete with songs, skits and dancing, is about God’s grace, promises to us, and his love for us. Campers arrive on Sunday and have 3 days to learn a whole entire production…and then the campers are on the road, including Culpeper!
