St. Luke Lutheran ChurchEvangelical Lutheran Church in America • 109 Oak Avenue • Ithaca NY 
St. Luke is a vibrant community of teachers, learners, adults and children, sinners and saints and everyone who falls in between. We are a family in faith and our doors are open to all.
THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
Today's gospel tells of Jesus’ temptation in the desert. His forty-day fast becomes the basis of our Lenten pilgrimage. In the early church Lent was a time of intense preparation for those to be baptized at the Easter Vigil. This catechetical focus on the meaning of faith is at the heart of our Lenten journey to the baptismal waters of Easter. Hungry for God’s mercy, we receive the bread of life to nourish us for the days ahead.
For the next year, we will be testing a new way of coordinating the faith and care. We are going to create a position of a monthly Shepherd.
