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 April 1, 2012- Sunday of the Passion

Pastor Kate CostaLeave a comment

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

Pastor Kate CostaLeave a comment

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.
