Lent and Holy Week at St. Luke
Persistance in Faith
Lent marks another forty-day journey, but this time, darkness is woven into the stories that lead us not only to the foot of the cross but to the tomb itself. Bearing the light from the manger to the cross is a journey that calls us to lean into and onto our faith.
We are called to a persistent faith—a faith that trusts in the love of God and the grace of Christ Jesus to carry us through these journeys of light and shadow, grief and joy. So this Lent, let us take this journey together—a journey through scripture, through time and space, and above all, a journey of persistent faith. We will lean on one another, we will lean on Christ, and we will trust in God’s overarching moral arc of love, freedom, and peace.

LEAD – Living Every Day as Disciples
The LEAD Journey is a 3-year transformational process….that delves deeply into listening to God in scripture, in your congregation, and in your neighborhood and focusing your mission around your core values.
Year One is called Tune In.
Year Two is called Wake Up.
Year Three is called Work Out.
LEAD listened – you have identified nine core vlues:
Sacramental, Intergenerational, Inclusivity, Joyful, Prayerful, Creativity, Liturgical, Caring, and Music!
The team placed these values into three clusters:
Christ Centered, Belonging, and Celebratory.
We are happy to chat with you if you’d like to learn more. Team members are: Judy Tennant, Susan Hoskins, Kevin Sheets, Beverly Dodici and Beth Dewalt.
Our journey is plotted out on THIS MAP and additional information can be found HERE.
