This week we hear an amazing promise: “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed.”
Come and see what promises God has in store for you this week!
Author: Pastor Kate Costa
This week’s Gospel lesson shares the image of the kingdom of God as mustard seed: small at first, but it quickly grows into a large bush. The mustard plant is a weed that grows everywhere in Israel, invited or not.
Where are the weeds of God’s grace growing in your life?
Third Sunday after Pentecost
So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! 1 Corinthians 5:17
Come and see the new creation at work this week at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church.
We hope to see you soon!

Trinity Sunday, June 3, 2012
This coming Sunday is Trinity Sunday. This prayer was written in the 14th Century and evokes the image of God as Trinity in a beautiful way as light, wisdom and strength.
O eternal Trinity, my sweet love!
You, light, give us light.
You, wisdom, give us wisdom.
You, supreme strength, strengthen us.
Today, eternal God, let our cloud be dissipated
so that we may perfectly know and follow your Truth
in truth, with a free and simple heart.
–Catherine of Siena

Please join us this Sunday as we worship together!
Readings for Sunday
Pentecost Sunday, 2012
We read in the Book of Acts that at Pentecost, Jews from every corner of the known world were gathered together, and they all heard in their own languages the disciples speaking of the good news of Jesus! They could all understand!
This Sunday, during our worship service at 10am, we will have a special reading in many languages to celebrate this event. We will also be confirming one of our high school students in her faith in Christ through Affirmation of Baptism. Please join us!

Pastor Kate Costa “bailed out”
Pastor Kate was “bailed out” by generous members of St Luke this afternoon for $1700! These funds go to the Omega Partnership, a day shelter and mentoring program in Culpeper. You can still contribute to our goal of reaching $2000 by going to www.omegapartnership.org or giving on Sunday to Pr. Kate. Every dollar you give will be matched by an anonymous donor from our congregation.
