Please take a moment to read the latest St. Luke’s newsletter. This week, we’re focused on care, discernment, and how we remain faithful and present to one another during seasons of uncertainty and transition.
In this issue, you’ll find:
- “Caring for one another in winter weather.”
Father John shares a pastoral reminder about safety during snow and ice, encouraging everyone to stay home when conditions are risky. Worship will be livestreamed this Sunday, and the message is clear: choosing caution and self-care is not a failure of faith, but an expression of love for ourselves and one another. God’s presence is not limited by buildings or weather, and our community remains connected in prayer wherever we are.
- “Epiphany light in a season of transition.”
This week’s sermon for the Second Sunday after the Epiphany reflects on Epiphany as a season of revealing, not waiting on pause. Drawing on Scripture and the life of St. Luke’s during clergy transition, the sermon reminds us that Christ is already present, faithful labor is never wasted, and discernment begins by showing up and paying attention. The congregation is invited to see participation, honesty, and courage as ways light continues to grow among us.
- Life of the parish and invitations ahead.
The newsletter also includes reflections and questions for personal and communal discernment, an invitation to participate in the Congregational Vitality Assessment, updates on stewardship and pledges, upcoming formation and community events, and notices from our wider parish life. Together, these offer concrete ways to stay engaged, support one another, and trust that God is still at work at St. Luke’s.
