Trinity Sunday, June 3, 2012

Pastor Kate CostaLeave a comment

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
[Catherine of Siena, in The Prayers of Catherine of Siena, ed. Suzanne Noffke, O.P. (New York: Paulist, 1983), 105.]

Please join us this Sunday as we worship together!

Readings for Sunday

Pentecost Sunday, 2012

Pastor Kate CostaLeave a comment

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 CostaLeave a comment

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.

St Luke’s Families help at CFLC

Pastor Kate CostaLeave a comment

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’!

Celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord

Pastor Kate CostaLeave a comment

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

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.
