St. Luke Radiant Sanctuary Space

At Home
Before worship starts, each household is encouraged to:
  1. Light a candle (be your own acolyte!). Or, light a lamp.
  2. Open your Bible (a Bible app on your phone is fine) and today's readings.
  3. * Prepare a place at a table (coffee table or desk is fine). Do you have a flower you can put in a vase? a cross? Liturgical decorations for the Season of Pentecost?
* send us a snapshot of you and your "St. Luke Radiant (at home) Sanctuary Space" and we'd love to place several photos into the July Horizon newsletter!

From the Pastors: “We would love to hear from you.”
St. Luke Church Council approved the document,
 
“Guidelines for In-Person Worship
at St. Luke Lutheran Church”
 

It outlines the health protocols that will be taken in order to protect our physical health for when we return to worship services in our building.  A copy of the “Guidelines...” is also included in the June Horizon newsletter.  We encourage you to read it and we ask for your feedback!  Next week, you will be sent a short survey, enquiring under what circumstances or health benchmarks you would return to in-person worship.  The Council would like to know your opinion!  Please stay tuned!  Click here for the "Guidelines."
Each one should use whatever gift they have received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” - Peter 4:10
