St Luke’s Families help at CFLC

13 members of St Luke went to Caroline Furnace Lutheran Camp this past weekend to lend a hand!  They moved rocks, cleared out streambeds, took down an old bridge and rebuilt a new one.

Here they are, busy ‘serving God and loving all people’!

Readings for Sunday April 22, 2012

Readings for the Third Sunday of Easter

The gospel for the third Sunday of Easter is always one in which the risen Christ shares food with the disciples, meals that are the Easter template for the meal we share each Lord’s day. In today’s gospel, Jesus both shares the disciples’ food and shows them the meaning of his suffering, death, and resurrection through the scriptures: the two main elements of our Sunday worship.

Celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord

Alleluia! Christ is Risen!

This Sunday, we had a wonderful worship to celebrate our risen Lord.  The highlight of the day was the baptism of four children!  We are so thankful to welcome these new Christians into our midst and give thanks for God’s action in their lives now and forever.  Thanks be to God!

Readings for April 1, 2012- Sunday of the Passion

The first and second readings and psalm are the same this Sunday every year: Christ emptying himself of divine power and protection, willingly becoming vulnerable to those who struck him and put him to death. With Christ we lament his suffering and all human suffering, but expect God’s final vindication. Mark’s passion story begins with an unnamed woman anointing his head, perhaps to proclaim him Messiah, and Jesus saying she has anointed him beforehand for burial. Mark’s Easter story will begin with women going to anoint Jesus for burial, only to find that he has been raised, God’s living Anointed One.

Readings for March 25, the Fifth Sunday in Lent

God promises Jeremiah that a “new covenant” will be made in the future: a covenant that will allow all the people to know God by heart. The church sees this promise fulfilled in Christ, who draws all people to himself when he is lifted up on the cross. Our baptismal covenant draws us to God’s heart through Christ and draws God’s light and truth into our hearts. We see God’s heart most clearly in the way Jesus shares human suffering, in an agony both the John and Hebrews readings describe.
