Caroline Furnace Lutheran Camp visits St. Luke’s!
This past Sunday Anita Smallin and Vikki Shelor from Caroline Furnace Lutheran Camp came to St. Luke’s. They led a great Sunday School opening, provided special music for the worship service, and celebrated afterwards with s’mores.
For more about the camp or to go for a week this summer, visit http://www.CarolineFurnace.org. The pictures below are taken by Vikki Shelor.
Readings for March 4, the Second Sunday in Lent
The second covenant in this year’s Lenten readings is the one made with Abraham and Sarah: God’s promise to make them the ancestors of many, with whom God will remain in everlasting covenant. Paul says this promise comes to all who share Abraham’s faith in the God who brings life into being where there was no life. We receive this baptismal promise of resurrection life in faith. Sarah and Abraham receive new names as a sign of the covenant, and we too get new identities in baptism, as we put on Christ.

Worship Scripture for Sunday, Feb. 5
The Fifth Sunday After Epiphany
Worship Scripture for the Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany
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.
