6 St. Luke’s Youth and 1 adviser enjoyed a great weekend at Winter Celebration, a Virgina Synod ELCA youth event.  Over 375 youth and leaders from all over the state participated at Eagle Eyrie Camp in Lynchburg, VA.  The weekend was reinvigorating, full of faith, and surpassed expectations!

The theme was “Called to Peace” based on Colossians 3:15

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.

Worship Scripture for the Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany

Pastor Kate CostaLeave a comment

In Deuteronomy God promises to raise up a prophet like Moses, who will speak for God; in Psalm 111 God shows the people the power of God’s works. For the church these are ways of pointing to the unique authority people sensed in Jesus’ actions and words. We encounter that authority in God’s word, around which we gather, the word that trumps any lesser spirit that would claim power over us, freeing us to follow Jesus.

Ordination this Saturday!
