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 "ordinary time," also known as the "green season" of growing and deepening faith?

Prayers of St. Luke Church Family
Rejoice with those rejoice, weep with those who weep.
- Romans 12:15
For those who mourn
For Barb Shirrod and the Watson family on the death of Barb's dear friends and co-teacher, Nedra Watson; and for preschool teacher, Ms. Kathy and her family on the death of her grandmother.
For those in need of strength, help, healing, comfort
We pray for Steve Azar as he recovers from his surgery and also his wife DeAnn; for Barb McCoy, Barbara Exley's aunt, who is not doing well in rehab; and for Bonnie Paine as she faces some challenges on her road to recovery, pray also for her husband Bob.
We pray for God's protection for all St. Luke members and their families who are traveling this summer.
We pray for all schools, students, teachers, especially our St. Luke Preschool, Director Lori Erven and the Preschool Committee as they prepare for school year 2020 - 2021.
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.
For the wider church
All Christian churches and summer camps, especially Rainbow Trail Lutheran and Sky Ranch Lutheran, both in Colorado, and the persecuted church - Christians suffering and dying for their faith.
We thank the Lord for the correct diagnosis & treatment of Belle Grill's medical condition and the vast improvement in her health. This has brought so much comfort to her daughter Kate Roesler & family.
Please contact our church Office Manager, Angie Miller at (505) 299-2621 or at stluke@thuntek.net to add people to our prayer chain
or for a complete copy of the prayer list.
