St. Luke Radiant Sanctuary Space
At HomeBefore worship starts, each household is encouraged to:
- Light a candle (be your own acolyte!). Or, light a lamp.
- Open your Bible (a Bible app on your phone is fine) and today's readings.
- * 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!

Prayers of St. Luke Church Family
Rejoice with those rejoice, weep with those who weep.
- Romans 12:15
For those in need of strength, help, healing, comfort
We pray for discernment, courage, physical & spiritual strength and protection for all First Responders, including EMT's, paramedics, firefighters, and police officers. May they exercise their power for the good of the community, with wisdom and accountability.
We pray for those in hospice care, including Magdalene von Zychlin (Pastor Christa's mother) and Belle Grill (Kate Roesler's mother).
We continue to pray for Bonnie Paine as she recovers from hip surgery and for discernment regarding her physical therapy. We pray for her husband Bob who is awaiting to see her soon.
For the wider church
All Christian churches and summer camps, especially St. Luke's Vacation Bible Camp Radiant (June 22-26, 2020); the persecuted church - Christians suffering for their faith.
Please contact our church Office Manager, Angie Miller at (505) 299-2621 or at stluke@thuntek.net to add people to our prayer chain

 3) and closer to home, The Navajo Lutheran Mission [ELCA – connected] in Rock Point, AZ, near the Four Corners area where Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah meet, exists in “… partnership with the Navajo People in that ministry of caring for one another.” This ministry includes a church, school, clinic, cultural and spiritual discovery center.

Then Peter began
to speak to them:
“I truly understand
that God shows no partiality,
but in every nation
anyone who fears him
and does what is right
is acceptable to him.
You know the message he sent
to the people of Israel,
preaching peace
by Jesus Christ -
he is Lord of all."
– Acts 10:34-36
